I always use rex. It will run against all values. For example, try this to replace all spaces with underscores in all values of field MyField.

... | rex field=MyField mode=sed "s/ /_/g"

Hi, sfatnass,

Can you provide

  • an example of the multivalued field
  • the command you are trying to run against it
  • a description of what you are trying to do

Thanks!
