How to write a Regex to extract and list out the country names from my html formatted results ?

The following were my html search results

<country>USA</country>
<country>CANADA</country>
<country>UK</country>
<country>AUSTRALIA</country>

How do I write the regex to extract and list out the countries and their count.

Thanks

First, if the search results you mentioned are separate events, then you are good. Else, you need to add this config in the Parsing Stage (Heavy Forwarder/Indexer):

props.conf:
SHOULD_LINEMERGE=false

Post that, use this regex in the search query to extract the Amount Due field and then calculate the average.

<...Initial Search...>|rex field=_raw "<country>(?< COUNTRY>.*)<\/country>"|stats count by COUNTRY as COUNTRY_COUNT

Assuming those are all in the same event...

| rex max_match=0 "\<country\>(?<country>[^\<]+)"

Please use the code options while pasting the answer so that the page should not exclude characters such as "< "etc..

Is every line a seperated event, or are all lines united in one event?
