Can you help me replace one slash with "_" so I can extract a field?

Hi.

I want to get a field.

Now this field named location_code contains "/" such as "/home/name/p"

I want to replace the "/" with "_" so I can match another field value,

What should I do ?

Hi @WXY

You probably want to use the replace command.

Let's create a test field called foo and then a new field called changed to illustrated how to use replace.

index=<your search here> 
| eval foo="a/b"
|eval changed=replace(foo,"/","_")
|table foo,changed
