I don't know offhand whether it's possible directly in "where" like your example, but I would achieve this with a lookup table. By tying the value.csv lookup table to your search, a new field (say "text_id") would be in the returned results, then your where condition could read "where text_id="AA"".

You can't use subqueries inside a where condition. You should probably setup value.csv as a lookup in Splunk - it would make what you are doing much easier.

See Lookup Fields from External Data Sources for more info
