Hi,
I have 3 products 1, 2, and 3, each of them contain several elements a, b c, d. Each product has different specification depending on the elements %
Product 1: a1<a<a2, b1<b<b2, c1<c<c2
Product 2: a3<a<a4, b3<b<b4, d3<d<d4
product 3: a5<a<a6, b5<b<b6, c5<c<c6, d5<d<d6
I would like to have a list
Product , a, b, c, d, In_Spec
I would like to use eval to assign the value to In_Spec
|eval In_Spec=( if Product=1 and a1<a<a2 and b1<b<b2 and c1<c<c2, "yes", "no")
but How can include product 2 and product 2? In the end I want sth like:
|eval In_Spec=( if Product 1.......... Product2........... Product 3............"yes", "no")
can someone help me with that?
Many thanks in advance!
The if function has only 3 parameter, condition, action if true, action if false. So, to represent it in a more structured way it might look like this
if condition1
then action1
else action2
endif
When the actions are themselves if's it starts to look like this
if condition1
then if condition1.1
then action1T
else action1F
endif
else if condition2
then if condition2.1
then action2T
else action2F
endif
else if condition3
then if condition3.1
then action3T
else action3F
endif
endif
endif
endif
As you can see, all the endifs come together at the end to close off all the levels of nesting. This is what the brackets are doing in the splunk syntax
You can nest if's
if(product=1,if(a>a1 AND a<a2 AND b ...,"yes","no"),if(product=2,if(...,"yes","no"),if(product...)))
or in a similar vein, use a case
case(product=1,if(...),product=2,if(...)...)
Hi @ITWhisperer thanks for the quick reply. But i am confused with so many brackets.
If I understand this correctly:
|eval In_Spec=if((Product=1, if(..., "yes", "no"), if (Product=2, if(...) "yes", "no"), if(Product=3, if(...., yes", "no" ))
But why do you have three brackets at the end?

else action3F

great! thank you @ITWhisperer for your patience. Now I understand! Many thanks!
