Hi everyone, i want to use the below command in a single line. i have tried "comma" but it's not working.

How do i do it?

|eval comments= if(Action="create","something has been created",'comments')
|eval comments= if(Action="delete","something  has been deleted",'comments')


Thanks.

Hi @super_saiyan,

yes sorry!

| eval comments= if(Action="create","something has been created", if(Action="delete","something  has been deleted",'comments'))

does it run and solves your need?

Ciao.

Use the case command, like this

|eval comments= case(Action="create","something has been created", Action="delete","something  has been deleted", true(),'comments')

The option "true()" is for default option (when all preceding conditions do not match).

Hi @super_saiyan,

use two concatenated ifs:

| eval comments= if(Action="create","something has been created", if(Action="delete","something  has been deleted",'comments')

or case with the same logic

There is a closing bracket " ) " missing in the SPL.
is it supposed to be that way ?
