Hello,

I can have message like this  
`Some object id=3 created by user=123`

What is the best way to get tokens

`id=3, user=123`

after analysis?

I think about splitting with standard delimiters (with Tokenizer) excluding "=" and filtering (with Token Filters) everything that doesn't contain it.

But maybe there is another better way.  
And if not, can I exclude everything that not contain "=" without regular expressions?

An alternative approach might be to split this data at indexing time in separate fields, so that you can actually query it as well as easily access it.

Take a look at the [node ingest feature](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.1/ingest.html) and specificially the [grok processor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.1/grok-processor.html)

hope this helps!
