Getting Data In

CSV fields and multiple timestamps

rasingh
Path Finder

I have a csv tab-delimited file with entries that looks like this:

GPDB20A LTO3 L03    03/08/11 06:01:20   1299592880  03/08/11 08:09:46   1299600586 

I want to grab the 4th field timestamp. With no TIME_PREFIX, it grabs the timestamp from the second field. When I use the TIME_PREFIX below, it uses the time that the event was indexed:

TIME_PREFIX = (?i)^(?:[^\t]*\t){3}

I got that regex from the field extractor in the GUI.

Any ideas, please?
