How can I create the same fields with different values within the same event?

sphc
Explorer

I need to extract cveid, cvss, vulnerability number, etc..

here is my log:

......
cveid="1234"
cvss= "abcd"
.........
cveid="34"
cvss= "abdfd"
.........
cveid="153534"
cvss= "abgdd"
.........
cveid="122344"
cvss= "adfscd"

.....................................

and much more further in one event.

thank you for your help

The easiest way to do this is:

|makeresults | eval _raw="cveid=\"1234\"
cvss= \"abcd\"
cveid=\"34\"
cvss= \"abdfd\"
cveid=\"153534\"
cvss= \"abgdd\"
cveid=\"122344\"
cvss= \"adfscd\""

| rename COMMENT AS "Everything above generates sample event data; everything below is your solution"

| rex mode=sed "s/\s*=\s*/=/g"
| kv mv_add=t

Then you can use mvzip to join them together and mvexpand to create separate events with joined-pairs (if that is what you need).

As far as every cveid has corresponding cvss you can try the following approach:
PS: First two pipes i.e. makeresult and evalare to mock data as per your question, you need to plug in commands from rex onward to your existing base search:

|  makeresults
|  eval _raw="......
cveid=\"1234\"
cvss= \"abcd\"
.........
cveid=\"34\"
cvss= \"abdfd\"
.........
cveid=\"153534\"
cvss= \"abgdd\"
.........
cveid=\"122344\"
cvss= \"adfscd\""
| rex "cveid=\"(?<cveid>[^\"]+)\"" max_match=0
| rex "cvss=\s\"(?<cvss>[^\"]+)\"" max_match=0
| table cveid cvss
| mvexpand cvss
| eval counter=1
| accum counter
| eval cveid=mvindex(cveid,counter-1)
| fields - counter
