Splunk Search

Is there an easy way to remove a section of string from a field?

SMM10
Explorer

I want to get an alert and run it but there are items I wanted to remove.

 

| rest "/servicesNS/-/-/saved/searches"
| search title="SomeAlert"
| fields qualifiedSearch

 

So far I am able to get my search but there is a line in there I want to remove, and then display my result. For example if the following was a line in qualifiedSearch.

 

| rename test1 as test, rename operation1 as operation

 

Is there an easy way I can use rex or something else to find this string in qualifiedSearch and remove it?
