Use double eval function for an extracted field

Hi All,

I have extracted a field from my raw data using eval replace function. Now I want to use the eval split function on that recently extrated field in props.conf. Please find the below command for details.

[sourcetype]
EVAL-field1 = replace(,"[][\"]","") This extraction is working fine.

Now I want to split the field1 values by using EVAL-field1=split(,",")

But I'm unable to do the second extraction. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Just write it in 1 eval statement:

EVAL-field1 = split(replace(,"[\][\"]",""),",")

PS: what did you have as the first parameter of the replace function? Why did you leave that out of your example? I left it blank in my code above as well, but that should contain a field name I guess?
