Hallo,
I fruitless tried to extract the path from the source field. My latest test is:

source="C:\\Users\\...\\...\\Logs\\*"   | rex field=source "(?<path>.*)\\.*$"

I am still not clear with the requirement. Would it be possible for your provide example. like for "C:\test\test9\some9sample.log", result should be "C:\test\test9"

my backslashes were deleted..

i'd like to accept in the filename all characters except the backslash. so i thougt for something like [\\][^\\]* for the last part. (i dont really understand [//\\\].)

Could you be little more specific? probably an example?

Thank you.
A little bit better version is:
rex field=source "(?.)[//\\\]+.[a-zA-Z.0-9]"

How is it possible to find all characters except \ in the latter part?
