Extracting data out of fields correctly

Hi,

I have a dataset like this :

field1=XXXX YYYYY-field2=ZZZZZZ:AAAAAA-field3=BBBBBB-field4=CCCCCC DDDDDDDD

Now after importing my data in splunk I am not getting the correct data in the fields

When I did like this :
field1="XXXX YYYYY" field2="ZZZZZZ:AAAAAA" field3="BBBBBB" field4="CCCCCC DDDDDDDD"

Then it worked, but in the raw log manually it is not possible to decorate the data as it is big in size

Can this type of formation can be made before importing the data into SPLUNK ?

Thanks in advance

I would make a field transformation, with a regex, that seperates the fields by "-"...

I'm not an expert in regex, but you need to search something like that :
(?P[^-]+)-(?P[^-]+)...
