Splunk Employee

My XML file looks like ( I have added spaces for formatting )

< contentOwner>


< gln>113456789< /gln>


< contentOwner>


< gln>1423456791< /gln>


< /contentOwner>


< contentOwner>


< gln>193456795


< /contentOwner>

and I want to extract a single multi event fields GLN=113456789,1423456791,193456795

How can I do that?

Hi mzorzi

I cannot test it, but I would try to use spath with your XML like this

... | spath output=gln path=contentOwner.gln

see spath examples here http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.3/SearchReference/Spath#Examples

cheers, MuS
