hi @bhavneeshvohra,

Use replace function with eval command OR rex command with sed.

 

| eval abc=replace(abc, "\\\\", "")

 

OR

 

| rex field=abc mode=sed "s/\\\//g"

 

Then if you want to make field abc a multivalued field using makemv:

| eval abc=replace(abc, "\\\\", "") | makemv delim="," abc

Field abc is further expanded using mvexpand,

| eval abc=replace(abc, "\\\\", "") | makemv delim="," abc | mvexpand abc

 

If this reply helps you, an upvote/like would be appreciated.
