I have a field in my Splunk search name filepath which contains the base path of file like below
repository/2650/document/960891_1.pdf
repository/357/document/96_1.wordx

I need to extract below string from my already existing field.
filepath value : repository/2650/document/960891_1.pdf
extract value : repository/2650/document/960891_1

filepath value : repository/357/document/96_1.wordx
extract value : repository/357/document/96_1

in short, I need to remove file extension from field value dynamically

Try

| rex field=filepath "(?<Base>.+)\.[^.]+$"

where filepath is your current field

What goes around comes around. If it helps, hit it with Karma 🙂
