fieldformat individually is a pain

Related to my previous question on arbitrary lists of variables...

sum(CPU*) seems to pull off an interesting trick of
1.) enumerating all possible variables starting with CPU

Is there anyway to template their output name sum(CPU*) as CPU$BLAH$

which then leads to any way to do this en-masse for fieldformat?

right now I'm using excel to generate the field list... which is slightly complex and painful. Would love something simple/elegant...

You could try this

| stats sum(CPU*) AS CPU* | foreach CPU* [ eval <<FIELD>>= tostring(<<FIELD>>, "commas") ]
