How do I use rex to remove everything after a specific character, but not said character

Hello,

I am using rex to remove everything after a specific character, but i need to keep the specific character.

Currently, I am using this -

| rex mode=sed field=Cluster "s/[k].*//g"

Unfortunately it is also removing the 'k'. Can I amend this argument slightly so it removes everything after k but the k remains? Unfortunately I don't have any / to work with.

Thanks!

Hi @superisk,

if yu want to remove everything after "[k]", you could try something like this:

| rex mode=sed field=Cluster "s/[k].*/[k]/g"

Ciao.
