The regular expression is correct according to RegExr, but i keep on getting this error

Error in 'rex' command: Encountered the following error while compiling the regex 'count(domain)=(?<count(domain)>.*)': Regex: syntax error in subpattern name (missing terminator)

Here is what i have in Splunk Search:

rex field=_raw "count(domain)=(?<count(domain)>.*)"

Thanks guys

Try this (run anywhere)

 index="AAAA" source="BBBB" | rex field=_raw "count\(domain\)=(?<domain_count>.*)," | rename domain_count as count(domain)

Hi ilove275,

brackets inside the rex field name cause the syntax issue.changing the field name count(domain) to domain_count would help u solving the issue.

rex field=_raw "count\(domain\)=(?<domain_count>.*)"

Thanks.

field name's "count(domain)" not "domain_count"

My Splunk Search
index="AAAA" source="BBBB" | rex field=_raw "count(domain)=(?.) date_wday=(?.)" | table date_wday count(domain)

error
Error in 'rex' command: Encountered the following error while compiling the regex 'count(domain)=(?.) date_wday=(?.)': Regex: syntax error in subpattern name (missing terminator)

Thanks rakesh_498115

and don't forget to append a " at the end of the regex command
