Hi,

After Extracting a field using regex. I now need to compare whether that particular field contains any command . Could you please help how to proceed further using eval,match or any other way?

Hi,

You could write the regex to match the field values to capture the commands in your newly extracted field. See below,

| makeresults 
| eval commands="vi,cd,hello,world"
| makemv delim="," commands
| mvexpand commands
| rex field=commands "(?<abc>.*)"
| eval contains_command=if(match(abc,"vi|cd"),"Yes","No")

Here I have extracted field abc from field commands and then I used eval and simple regex using match function to identify the commands in field abc
If it's there then I will see result as yes and no respectively.

Hi @rupeshn,
Try below-

...| eval matches = if(match(fieldname,"command Line"), 1, 0)

If it find command line in fieldname then it will return 1 else 0
