Hi Guys,

I need some help with a stats command.

Given is Data like this csv

Round,Player1,Player2,ScorePlayer1,ScorePlayer2
1,Harry,Tom,5,1
2,Eva,Mike,1,0
3,Harry,Eva,3,4
4,Mike,Tom,4,6
5,Tom,Harry,3,2
6,Mike,Eva,7,5
7,Eva,Tom,2,5

All I want to have is a stats command that gives me a table with the total amount of points for every player.
I managed to do it with a subsearch but this feels kind of weird... there has to be a better solution.

Try this

base search here | eval player=player1.";".player2 | eval score=ScorePlayer1.";".ScorePlayer2 | makemv player delim=";" | makemv score  delim=";" | eval z=mvzip(player, score) | mvexpand z | rex field=z "(?<player>[^;]+);(?<score>.*)" | stats sum(score) as score by player

There is a little mistake. The mvzip command uses an comma as seperator so the semikolon in the rex command must be replaced with an comma. Than it works perfectly! Thank you again

Thank you very much. This worked and is faster than my subsearch.
