It might be interesting to create a new extractor based on left and right boundary. This might be easier to use than Regex Extractor. It exists in many other tools.
What about an extractor like the grok patterns used by logstash. They are essential names for common regex patterns. That would probably be easier to use than normal regex patterns and allow something similar to boundary based patterns.
Hello Felix, Do you have this in mind ?: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19565755/how-to-parse-using-grok-from-java-is-there-any-example-available https://github.com/thekrakken/java-grok The + is that it is now very popular but in terms of simplicity I am not sure it is as easy as Boundary where you need 0 knowledge to use it. You just say what's on left and right of what you want to extract.
