Hi
regex for extract module name 
 
here is the log:
15:25:36.999 user module_W: A[00]B[0000000]C[0]L: process read compeleted!
the module name is "module_W" after user "start  with star wildcard till colon"
 
Any idea?
Thanks,

thank you for answer, user is not static value are different for users, is it possible to set (variable user after that space) for first part? 

FYI: there are some special character in users
