actually its not in a field 3...
the below is an extract from an event. when I try to manually extract it does not show the full event past line 18 so I thought maybe a regex will be able to pull the data 'Printed: <001527>
Selected: : 001558
Deceased : 000003
GoneAway : 000007

This should auto-extract at searchtime. If not then try adding this to your search

| rex field=field3 Printed\s\:\s(?<Printed>\d+)
| table Printed
