Hi - Im trying to define a TimeLion visualisation usint the following expression

.es(_corr_,timefield=rt,split="DeviceVendor.keyword:10")

This works but the labels show ion the chart are as follows

q:_corr_ \> DeviceVendor.keyword:F-Secure \> count  
q:_corr_ \> DeviceVendor.keyword:Microsoft \> count  
q:_corr_ \> DeviceVendor.keyword:ArcSight \> count  
q:_corr_ \> DeviceVendor.keyword:Check Point \> count

I want to make these look a little tidier so tried to specify my own label by changing the expression to

.es(_corr_,timefield=rt,split="DeviceVendor.keyword:10").label("[$1]", "^.\* \> DeviceVendor.keyword:(\S+) \> .\*")

The labels now show

[F-Secure]  
[Microsoft]  
[ArcSight]  
q:_corr_ \> DeviceVendor.keyword:Check Point \> count

Note the issue with the last label - is this caused by this vendor string having a space in it? if so how can I change it so that the space is ignored and I get  
[Check Point] as the last label

Thanks for your help

Yes, that's the reason. If I'm not wrong you can fix the regex as the following:

```auto
.label("[$1]", "^.* > DeviceVendor.keyword(.*?) > .*")

```
