Hi @satya671 

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="afadfadfadf
afadsfagafg

adfafafa

string1 .........

afjal;dkfhao ilhaf

ajkf;haldghag;lakg

akuhfajkdhfalkfha;

auhaghkajdgakg

jkalfagafg

string2.........

afdasdgadfas" 
| rex "string1(?<extracted>(.|\n)*?)string2" 
| table extracted

You could try this.
