Hi @premranjithj

Try something like this:

your search...|rex field=_raw "^\d+\,(?P<text>.+)$"

If that original string is already extracted to another field, replace _raw with your fieldname.

Let me know if that works!

Where does the '#' comes from?

For creating dummy event I had added # in the text to break
