Hi,

 

I have two different queries, I want to join two columns.

Below is my query:

 

`macro`
msg="Finish import*" OR msg = "*inserted for*"
| rex field=msg "Finish import (?<dataField>.+)\s*at\s+(?P<datetime>\S+\s+\S+) processing time=(?<processingTime>\w+)" | where trim(dataField)="postcode"
| append [
search `macro` msg="*inserted for*"
| rex field=msg "(?<records>\d+)+\s[^\s].+for(?<dataField1>.*)" | where trim(dataField1)="postcode" ]

| eval records1 = records+":"+processingTime
| transaction msg maxpause=100s |
strcat records "::" processingTime recordsPr |

table datetime, dataField, records,ts,processingTime, recordsPr,dataField1.

I want to combine records and processingTime in one column like records:processingTime.

With eval records1 its doesnot concatenate but with string concatenate it looks like below:

 Any help, would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Since append creates a new record combining fields using eval won't work. Try using join command instead of append.

Then eval should work
