Hi All,
I am trying to capture line starting with a number, I have created a regex and tested it in regex101 site and it is working as expected but when I used the same in Splunk using rex it is failing to capture and the result is blank.

Hi Giuseppe,

Thanks after adding it working, could you please let me know the purpose of adding (?ms) at the beginning of the regex.

Regards,
Naresh

in regex101 there are (on the right of the regex box) the regex options (/gm) that you need to insert in your regex in Splunk.
