Hi

I have a search that returns a field called "Administrators"

Administrators

\DomainAdmins
\Backup Group
\Eventlog Administrators
user1
user2

for every entry that has a \ at the beginning I would like to put the word "Domain"

Domain\DomainAdmins
Domain\Backup Group
Domain\Eventlog Administrators
user1
user2

In @nickhillscpl's answer, replace first * with whatever search you've right now. Just add that | eval administrator... to end of your search.

This should work for you:

*|eval administrators=if(match(administrators, "^\\\.+"), "Domain".administrators, administrators)|table administrators

Probably want to put a carat ^ at the start of that, so it only matches at the beginning of the string.

"Match" returns true if the REGEX can find a match against any substring of SUBJECT.
