reference lookup name in table

I have a search where I am doing 2 inputlookups for 2 different lookups and appending them. Then I search them. Can I table the lookup name as a field for where the result was found? Thanks.

From a nice bloke on reddit:

Example if you are using lookups normally:

| lookup my_lookup1.csv field1 OUTPUT outfield1
| lookup my_lookup2.csv field1 OUTPUT outfield2
| eval outfield = coalesce(outfield1,outfield2,"not found")
| eval tablesource = case(isnotnull(outfield1),"my_lookup1.csv",
 isnotnull(outfield2),"my_lookup2.csv",
 true(),"not found")

Example if you are using inputlookup:

 | inputlookup my_lookup1.csv 
 | eval tablesource="my_lookup1.csv"
 | inputlookup my_lookup2.csv append=true
 | eval tablesource=coalesce(tablesource,"my_lookup2.csv")
