Hello, we are looking at errpt messages and are having difficulty extracting certain fields from the text below:
Everything with a ":" was easy to extract the value but we are having problems extracting the field below Description, which would be REPAIR ACTION in the first example. Any idea how to extract this file or a regex that would accomplish this?

Assuming thats a line break:
rex field="yourfield" "(?<desc>(?<=Description\r)(.*))" | table desc
http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ is a great tool for these scenarios
This does not seem to work for us. If we were to copy that regex into the field extraction tool it cant seem to match (?
Since you didnt mention you would put this in the field extractor I told you how to do it with the rex command.,
To do it in field extractor, you could change it to (?<=Description\r)(.*)
