I hve few events where data is not available. Instead I see commas where head6 and head7 data is not availble. Need rex so that I get output blank if no data but if data is available then it should provide output. below is the event (three commas beside between UNKNOWN AND /TEST)

 

head1,head2,head3,head4,head5,head6,head7,head8,head9,head10,head11,head12

| rex "(?<head1>[^,]*),(?<head2>[^,]*),(?<head3>[^,]*),(?<head4>[^,]*),(?<head5>[^,]*),(?<head6>[^,]*),(?<head7>[^,]*),(?<head8>[^,]*),(?<head9>[^,]*),(?<head10>[^,]*),(?<head11>[^,]*),(?<head12>[^,]*)"

The fields will be null so you could use fillnull to give them values e.g.

| fillnull value="N/A"
