How can I extract different arrays from a field to visualise?

Hi,

I have a text file that contains data which looks like

"x:[-0.01,0.04,0.9],y:[0.00045,0.00035,0.03],z:[0.00115,0.0012,0.001]"

Now my idea was to visualise x, y and z in a nice way(I am using the names x, y, z just for example's sake, they would be different depending on data). I got the data into Splunk and all of the data appears in field1 . I can't understand/figure out a way to get three fields from this field1, by three fields I mean x, y and z with their values respectively. I tried "extract field" but couldn't manage the way I needed.
To visualise this data in a nice representation, I must extract them from field1 but I am really clueless. Would some one please help, and guide me in the right direction. I haven't worked with Splunk before and thats why I don't have much knowledge about it yet.
I appreciate any help, thanks.

Try with this:
| eval mynewfield=case(field1 =="x:[-0.01,0.04,0.9]")

Hey annie22,

have you tried the | rex command yet?
Other than that please give us more sample data + an expected output as your explanation doesn't tell me how it should look like in the end.

Thanks,

Hi pyro_wood,
Thank you for your comment, I haven't looked into rex, didn't know about it, going to look it up.
Here is the sample file data that I have currently:

Sorry for not being so clear, I will try to explain, having this data in mind, when Splunk reads it from file, it shows all of it in 1 field, my problem is when I click on visualisation, I want in statistics table three columns with names x, y and z, and their data under them. I am not sure if that is even possible in Splunk.

for the sake of a smaller example if the data is:

 "x:[1,4,9,4],y:[45,35,3,0],z:[115,12,1,9]"

I want to see in statistics table as an expected result some thing like this:

alt text

Thank you!!!

Oops sorry, my previous comment doesn't show the image link where I had expected result, I think because I don't have enough points so it won't let me use any hyperlink. So I will try explaining instead, I would like as expected result a table with in this case three columns, x, y and z and then their values under them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
