Change Delimeter for Export CSV

Just a quick question. I have no experience on Splunk, but my company just use it to collect data.

My Splunk Query search :

 

sourcetype=st_file| fillnull clientTransactionID msisdn ocsID orderID applicationID productType providerName reponseCode responsedetail reponseMessage actiontype bNumber gatewayTransactionID | stats count as trx by _time clientTransactionID msisdn ocsID orderID applicationID productType providerName reponseCode responsedetail reponseMessage actiontype bNumber gatewayTransactionID

 

 

Then the result will be export to csv file like this :

 

"_time",clientTransactionID,msisdn,ocsID,orderID,applicationID,productType,providerName,reponseCode,responsedetail,reponseMessage,actiontype,bNumber,gatewayTransactionID,trx

"2020-10-17T17:20:00.000+0700",023029300002187960,6281220636564,TC01,0,RBT0000,SP,RBT,2,"0|1630429199000|65","CHARGING_SUCCEEDED",F,000,"RBT0000:023029300002187960",1

 

 Can anyone suggest me how to change delimiter from '"," to "|" on my search query? 

I already read that we can change it from conf. files but since  I can't get access to those files, so i have no clue here. 

 

Thank you

Hi @jack_sumatra do you get the csv file thru outputcsv command or just search results export option?

ok, the simplest idea would be, doing some post-processing methods.,

ie, after getting the csv file, you can use notepad or vi editor for linux and do "search and replace" all "," to "|"

or, do you get the csv report thru alert/report?, if so, there may be some ideas.

thanks and best regards,
Sekar

I got the csv file from export option. 

Thank you for the tricks, it works with small data.

But can you help me with search query to replace delimiter, because with large data results my laptop just give up to open it. 😂
