How do you trim a value in a field with a proper format?

I have a field FQ with the value as "ServerName.domain.com"

I want to get only the server name in another field.

Please help.

Hi

Try this rex

|rex field=FQ "(?P<servername>^[^.]*)"

|eval ServerName=mvindex(split(FQ,"."),0)

OR

|rex field=FQ "(?<ServerName>[\w-]+)"

If you have any other characters in the servername , then you have to include that as well in the rex.
