Remove (quotes) from search command 'format' output

Hello,

Your assistance is very much appreciated. I am performing a sub search and need the data to be recognized as a single set (statistic). For some reason the quotes are messing with the output on the subsearch.

IE: 

<search><| dedup src_ip | rename src_ip as search | format >   ......results in the following:

( ( "8.8.8.8" ) OR ( "1.1.1.1" ) OR ( "4.4.4.4" ) ) 

and I need the results from to be :

( ( 8.8.8.8 ) OR ( 1.1.1.1 ) OR ( 4.4.4.4 ) )

Thank you in advanced.

Thank you very much. That did it! My approach was by regex and was not having any luck.
