How do I search a csv file created via Outputlookup?

[mshapirovp]

I am creating lookup csv files for my app on a nightly basis via scheduled searches doing search | outputlookup mydata.csv.

I have verified that the mydata.csv exists under my app's lookups directory, and it contains the correct data. However, when running inputlookup mydata.csv no results come back.

What am I doing wrong?

It appears that you must start the search with a pipe. I was trying:

inputlookup mydata.csv

But got no results. What I should have been searching for was:

| inputlookup mydata.csv

That pipe made it work.

That'll do it...

I had actually posted the complete search I was trying in the post itself, but I just across a "ah-ha" moment that showed me what I was doing wrong. I needed to add a pipe before the inputlookup command before I would get results

Perhaps a flaw in your inputlookup usage, but if you don't post an example search we cannot see.
