Also assigning different sourcetype per county csv file is other option and you can handle it better for your future search queries.

In your input.conf file;

[monitor://C:\networkanalysisgermany.csv]
disabled = false
sourcetype = Germany

[monitor://C:\networkanalysissingapore.csv]
disabled = false
sourcetype = Singapore

Create Sourcetypes

Hope it helps

This is probably the best solution.

I didn't test it but it should work if the length of the first part of the SOURCE string is always the same.
You can also apply a rex command after applying the split command, but it will do the same than the command proposed by sc0tt

I'm sure there is a more elegant solution, but would something like | eval country = mvindex(split(substr(source,18),"."),0) work?

Edit: This should work as well

rex field=source "c:networkanalysis(?<country>\S+).csv"
