Why am I getting an error when perform split with "\" delimiter

[azleeshah]

username to split  - domain\user

expected result  for user2 field -         domain

                                                                              user

SPL - | eval user2=split(user,"\") 

error stated - unbalanced quotes

thanks for assistance

The backslash character is the escape character.  To use a literal backslash you must escape it.

| eval user2=split(user,"\\")
