Hi,

/mrIWeb/Images/SE/2.1/lib/qstudio/qcreator/qcore/QWidget.js
/mrIWeb/Images/SE/2.0/source/js/SurveyEngine.js
/mrIWeb/Images/SE/1.7.1/lib/qstudio/qcreator/qcomponent/BtnMatrix.js
/mrIWeb/Images/SE/1.8/lib/qstudio/qcreator/qcomponent/DragnDrop.js

but I dont want my output like this,

I want to display my output like

/mrIWeb/Images/SE/2.1
/mrIWeb/Images/SE/2.0
/mrIWeb/Images/SE/1.7.1
/mrIWeb/Images/SE/1.8

I would do it with an eval and Rex, something along the following addition to the search

... | rex field=XYZ "(?<XYZ_trimmed>(\/[^\/]*){4})\/.*"

should give you the desired trimmed result in the field XYZ_trimmed, see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.5/SearchReference/Rex
