FYI, Options, other than sed are,

....| eval YourIPField=replace(YourIPField,"-",".")

not so good method

...| replace"*-*-*-*" with "*.*.*.*" in YourIPField

Try this,

your base search .. | rex mode=sed field=<your_field> "s/-/./g"

Sample:

|stats c | eval field="12-000-000-222" | table field | rex mode=sed field=field "s/-/./g"

[cpetterborg]

the sedcmd syntax is:

s/-/./g

Will that work for you?
