Here's an example - you need the rex and eval statements

| makeresults
| eval file_size=split("1.56 KB,5.03 MB,1.06 B,1MB,4.95 GB,5.13TB", ",")
| mvexpand file_size
| rex field=file_size "(?<size>\d+(\.\d+)?)\s?(?<mul>\w+)?"
| eval file_size=case(mul="KB", size * 1024, 
                      mul="MB", size * 1024 * 1024, 
                      mul="GB", size * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, 
                      mul="TB", size * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024,
                      1==1, size)
