automatic lookup - match_type = wildcard

[KarunK]

Hi All,

Again depending on my favourite support people.

I have lookup file looks like below.

channel,customer
chnl-7,channel7
bbc-1,BBC
nnc-2BBC

I have a log entry containing a URL which looks like below. The URL field is highlighted.

125-11-2012 http://telstra.com/chnl-7/sports/cricket.isml 23 788000 200

I need to define a autolookup which provides a field called channel when i search for the logs.

transforms.conf

[cds_test]
filename = cds_test.csv
min_matches = 1
default_match = Others
case_sensitive_match = false
match_type = WILDCARD(channel)

props.conf is defined accordingly.

Right now with the above transforms i have to add "*" at the end of the channels info in CSV like below. This is not possible because I am creating lookup csv file is automatically using a scheduled search.

Is there any way i can do this using with out "*" ?

channel,customer
*chnl-7*,channel7
*bbc-1*,BBC
*bbc-2*,BBC

Thanks

KK

Looking at the URL, you could extract the channel into a field and not use any wildcard matching at all.
