How to create a search with 2 columns in lookup?

I would like to do a search using 2 columns in a lookup table where the row is AND'd.  Something like

Col1 Col2
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4

 

where the search would be equivalent to

index=myindex (Col1=A AND Col2=1) OR (Col1=B AND Col2=2) OR (Col1=C AND Col2=3) OR (Col1=D AND Col2=4)
Labels (2)

Try this

index=myindex [ | inputlookup yourlookup.csv | table Col1 Col2 ]

You can see the effect of the subsearch by running just this command

| inputlookup yourlookup.csv | table Col1 Col2 | format

Hope this helps

@bowesmana thanks.  It looks like it works.

I was getting some errors with this answer initially, but it was because my actual search has a rex statement right before the inputlookup line.  I found the putting a "| search *" between the two fixed the error.
