hi!

Under the field Username, I have two lists, Machine1 and Machine2

I want to split this into two separate columns Machine 1 and Machine2

how can I do this? Thanks!

I tried using my search...| rex field=Username "(?Machine1)(?Machine2)", but it's not working.

Like this:

... | eval Machine1 = mvindex(Username, 0), Machine2 = mvindex(Username, 1)

Can you give us a sample field to work with? Does it look like: Machine 1 Machine 2?
