Hi All,

I have a hostname stating \\sent134

I need to remove this \\ using regex and it should be like this:  sent134

Actual:

\\sent134

Expected should be:

sent134

===

Please provide regex to remove \\ form the hostname fields.

Thanks

Hi

| makeresults
| eval foo="\\\\sent134"
| fields - _time
```above generates testdata like "\\sent134" ```
| rex mode=sed field=foo "s/\\\//g"

previous should work. If needed add/remove \-characters (as usually 😉
