[TNV20]

Hi all,

I try to develop a custom Python script and i want to input parameter from Search to my script. Could i do it?

Example my script name is compare (already register on searchhead), and it need 2 parameter to work, like:  | makeresults a=1 | compare file1.csv file2.csv (file1.csv, file2.csv is parameter).

Thanks so much.

@TNV20 - If you are using Splunklib (Splunk-SDK-Python) then you could do it with Option.

https://docs.splunk.com/DocumentationStatic/PythonSDK/1.7.2/searchcommands.html

from splunklib.searchcommands.decorators import Option

file1 = Option(
    doc=''' **Syntax:** **file=***<file1>*
    **Description:** Name of the first file''',
    require=True)

And you can use it like:

| compare file1="file1.csv" file2="file2.csv"

I hope this helps!!!
