search criteria - regex usage

[david_auquiere]

Hello,

I would like to make a search based on regex...but it does not work. The idea is to select only Initiator User Name (sun) formatted a follows: 2 alphanumerical characters and 5 numerical (e.g. A000005 or FR00001). I try the following criteria but it seems not working...

AND (sun match regex("\w{2}\d{5}"))

I have try the regex and it seems the syntax is ok. Could you help me to find the good way to express regex expression in sentinel (for search criteria)

Thanks,

david

I see in documentation sun:"/\w{2}\d{5}/" but same result...

Which version and SP of Sentinel are you using?

Could you show us an exported event that you are trying to match?

What happens if you go to something insanely simple as a regex, like .*
instead of the word/digit stuff you have?

I've found that \x doesn't work....but [0-9] (etc) does....and drop quotes

AND (sun:/[A-Za-z]{2}[0-9]{5}/)

Bug 1080046 - Sentinel 8.1 documentation shows wrong example for Regular
Expression Queries

The part about the quotes ss wrong. Do not quote the expression by
putting quotation marks around it.
