Can you extract fields after a lookup?

I'm trying to fix up some of the props.conf for the Windows Infrastructure app to match our Windows XML logs, but some of the fields needed are only provided after a lookup. Is there any way to extract fields post lookup?

I've worked it out, just perform the extraction within the search. I used the rex function

Hi

based on this https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.5/Knowledge/Searchtimeoperationssequence it’s not possible. And lookups is used only in search time not in indexing.

Hi

that's what you can always do and in any order and how many times you ever want.
