Hey guys. I'm a beginner of Splunk 
I have a one question. 
I  get a input value

but value has a space. so I want to remove it

here's my code

 

<input type="text"  token="field55">      // field55 is 'temp token'

<lable>test </lable>

<change>

<eval token="field5"> trim($value$)</eval> // field5 is 'real token'

</change>

</input>

.....

<query>

index=mail    mail_sender= "$field5$"
|  table mail_sender 

</query>

 

if I input like 'test123  '  the result value is 'test123' (no spaces) 
how can I do that?? 
So sorry hard to read
please help me out!!

Isn't it possible to trim it in the search?

<form>
  <label>Text Space</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="text" token="input">
      <label>Input</label>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <table>
        <search>
          <query>|makeresults|eval acutal_text="$input$"|eval actal_length=len("$input$")|eval trimmed_text=trim(acutal_text)|eval trimmed_length=len(trimmed_text)</query>
          <earliest>-15m</earliest>
          <latest>now</latest>
        </search>
        <option name="drilldown">none</option>
      </table>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

I have some files uploaded onto my splunk, but when I used spl like this (index=web sourcetype=access* status=200 product_name=* | table JSESSIONID,price,product_name), for example, I do not get any results.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for you answer.  

If I input index  field,  Is it possible to use both Index and makeresults ?

@tkdguq0110 , that's just a run anywhere example with dummy data. So you can replace makeresults with your original search
