I am able to execute the below search command using rex and retrieve the output successfully

index=xyz | rex field=_raw "queue[\s=]'(?.*)'([\s:]|$)" | search q1='test.queue'

however when i am creating a filed extraction using regex for the above "q1" field i am unable to retrieve any results.(index=xyz | q1='test.queue'
regex used in field extraction page is queue[\s=]'(?.*)'([\s:]|$)

can anyone help me in letting me know how to create the field extraction from a rex command

Tried using the "where" command?

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/4.3.4/SearchReference/Where

so use it something like ... index=xyz | rex field=_raw "queue[s=]'(?.*)'([s:]|$)" | where like(q1, "test.queue")

It would help if you could post a sample of your data.
