Remove partial duplicate in same field

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to remove partial duplicate in the same field, but couldn't find a solution yet.

For instance I have for the same field these values:

http://www.g

http://www.go

http://www.google.com

 

I would like to only keep the value (http://www.google.com), I tried to use dedup and mvfilter:

eval url_in_parameter=mvfilter(!url_in_parameter LIKE url_in_parameter*)

I am still a begginer on Splunk and couldn't find any similar topics on internet.

 

Thanks for your help and have a good day.
