Hello Elastic community,

I am trying to use a if condition for my logstash filter for a windows path but not sure about the delimiter and correct syntax.

Here is my complete windows directory " R:\I3\IC\Logs\Sabio\_Elk\_Logs\amit1.txt " and I just need Sabio\_elk\_logs to be the value for my if condition.

I tried `if [log][file][path] =~ \\Sabio_elk_logs\` but it didn't work.

Can somebody throw some light on this regex pattern especially for windows path.

Kind regards,  
Shubham
