Hi simpkins1958,

Try with this query, it work fine!!!!

your base search...| rex newPhoneNumber=phoneNumber mode=sed "s/,/ /g"

Eg: with this, 2,147,483,648 become 2 147 483 648

hi simpkins 1958,

use the function rmcomma() like this |convert rmcomma(PhoneNumber)

rmcomma()
Syntax: rmcomma(<wc-field>)
Description: Removes all commas from value, for example
rmcomma(1,000,000.00) returns 1000000.00. You can use wild card
characters in the field name.

Can you post some sample events? Does your raw data already have commas in phone number values?
