Extract Comma seperated fields

rsantkumar
Observer

I have 3 fields(Key, Version, Date) seperated by comma and records(can be many) seperated by ;(semicolon).

Example: pgn-aemrules,1.1,2020-04-02;pgn-csharp,8.4 (build 15306),2020-02-21;pgn-csharp,8.5 (build 15942),2020-03-16;

I am trying to extract the 3 fields and display as a table in splunk. Please help.

Do you want to do this at search time or at index time? Should the data between semicolons be separate events?
