How to remove quotes from Inputlookup?

Hey All,

I have the following issue.  There is a lookup table I am using within a query in where some items are returned with quotes and some are not.  I have the following query and I need to ensure all the results are returned without quotes.

My final query looks as follows:

I know these quotes are causing issues with my final lookups.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try something like this (run anywhere sample search, adjust per your need)

| makeresults | eval temp=split("This is #sample #search with format# command","#") | table temp| mvexpand temp | rename temp as search | format | eval search=replace(search,"\"","")

The values are quoted if they contain, for example, spaces. You could the spaces with underscores for example before they are returned and perhaps switch them back afterwards?

| eval search=replace(search," ","_")
| format "" "" "" "" "" ""
