Hello Gurus!

I am sure some people may have run in to this.   I am using extract command to parse fields from multi line unstructured event, but the data values are encapsulated by single quotes.

Here is the example :

====EVENT 1========

2021-09-08 00:00:00 ABC status - performance event
    name : 'James Bond'
    address : 'USA'
    age : '100'
    occupation : 'spy'
performance event END

==================

So the the following event, I am using transforms to 

transforms.conf

[performance_data]
DELIMS = "\r\n", ":"

So above transforms partially works.  The problem is the values has single quote ' encapsulated.

Like this

Field name "name"  with value "'James Bond'".   single quote included.  How can I get rid of the single quote?
