Functions in splunk query language

[msarro]

Is it possible to create functions in the splunk query language? Right now I am working to try and correlate call detail records for a telephony platform. Essentially every call can generate N records, where N is determined by the type of call, features invoked, etc. To correlate the records correctly, it would be awesome if I could have some sort of branching ability based on the values of fields. Something along these lines:

if(service_provider==wdv_trunking,(true search query),(false search query))?

Splunk's search language is extremely flexible. There are a number of commands out-of-the-box such as "| eval" and "| transaction". If you find something that can't be done using a shipped command, Splunk gives the ability to create your own search command using python.
