I am trying to write a expression that will match all username if they have special characters within them or not but have not go very far.

You can see from below i have 2 entry with 2 different account names. I need an expression that will match both.

you can use Account Name:(\s[\w.]+)

[\w.]+ match 1 or more occurrences of a-zA-Z0-9_ and . character

if you need to match any special character then use Account Name:(\s[a-zA-Z]+.*)

[a-zA-Z]+ match at least 1 or more alphabet, although you can also use range {} if you have minimum characters for the username
