CSV file not extracting properly when there is empty value for a field

Hi there,

I have a CSV file with the following header and values in it. There are some empty values for a field too. The line which has an empty field value isn't extracting correctly.

Ex: Field1  Field2  Field3  Field4  Field5   Field6   Field7  Field8

      abc        123       gfdj       8583   djhcsh  jdcjhd   dcu      jxnchsdi

      dabc      1423   ggfdj     98583  kjdcjhd          nchsdi     sjdkvv

In the example the line 1 is extracting properly, but the line 2 where the field6 is empty isn't extracting properly.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

My props.conf

[sourcetype]
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = CSV
FIELD_DELIMITER=,
HEADER_FIELD_LINE_NUMBER = 1
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false

Can you share the raw form of the CSV (with commas rather than spaces)?

How is line 2 not extracting properly?  What are you getting compared to what you expect to get?
