Hi,

I have a CSV file, which after indexing looks like this

"data1","12-13",y,20,1,"31.034483"
"data1","12-13",y,20,1,"31.034483"
"data1","12-13",y,20,2,45
"data1","12-13",y,20,3,"31.372549"
"data1","12-13",y,20,4,20

I have written a rex command to get the last column values in a table, but not able see all the variables, as some of it is in ""(double quotes) and some not as well some has decimal points.
My rex command is:-

sourcetype=xyz|search data1|rex "(?i)^(?:[^,]*,){5}(?P<FIELDNAME>.+)"|table FIELDNAME

I want the table to be without double quotes ,as shown below:-

31.034483
31.034483
45
31.372549
20

Please Help...!!!

If you want to match the last field the best approach imho is to anchor your match against the end of the line, not against how many fields are before the last one. This regex should work:

"?([\d.]+)"?$
