InputCsv not working

Has anyone had issues using InputCsv? I created a CSV files using the 'outputcsv x' on a small event set. I verified the CSV file exists and is well-formed. Unfortunately 'inputcsv x' or 'inputcsv x.csv' doesn't return anything.

I've tried from both the UI and the command-line - both with the same result.

You can try to put a pipe symbol prior to the search on the UI. For example:

| inputcsv rrcidrlist

returns my data correctly however:

inputcsv rrcidrlist

returns nothing. I have noticed that some commands need a pipe in front. Perhaps someone can explain this better?

Can you please post the example search you are using, as well as any config entries you have created for this lookup, and the location of your csv file. Thanks
