Hi,
I have the below events
100, ABC, , , 110, DEF, , , , , , ,
, ,120 ,GHI, 130, JKL, , , , , , ,
, ,140 ,MNO , , , , , , , 150,PQR ,
Ex: for the below event,
100, ABC, , , 110, DEF, , , , , , ,
these are the fields
Key_ID1="100"
Key_Value1="ABC"
Key_ID2=""
Key_Value2=""
Key_ID3="110"
Key_Value3="DEF"
Key_ID4=""
Key_Value4=""
Key_ID5=""
Key_Value5=""
Key_ID6=""
Key_Value6=""
I need to assign all these fields to a single field and move all null values to one side and not null values to the other side. something like below
100,ABC,110,DEF , , , , , , , , ,
120,GHI,130,JKL, , , , , , , , ,
140,MNO,150,PQR, , , , , , , , ,
then it has to be exported to a report.
I tried if conditions coalesce, nothing helped. Did someone tried this before ?

Not efficient, but works! Play around.
| makeresults
| eval myVar=",,140,MNO,,,,,,,150,PQR,"
| rex field=myVar mode=sed "s/,{2,}/,/g"
| rex field=myVar mode=sed "s/^,|,$//g"
| eval myVarCopy=myVar
| makemv delim="," myVarCopy
| eval myCount=mvcount(myVarCopy)
`comment("by counting number of existing fields, remaining null fields are added as commas")`
| eval output=case(myCount=4,myVar . ",,,,,,,,", myCount=5,myVar . ",,,,,,,")
| fields output
