Hi experts,
I have a filed called names as shown below, if i search with first line of strings then search returning the complete filed event but not second and third line of filed strings. I used | eval names= mvfilter(names="32") and also | eval names= mvfilter(match("32", names)) but not worked for me. Please help me on this, Thanks in advance.
names
1121 - sample name
3247 - sample names
9876 - simple name
required out put: if I search with names=1121* or names=3247* or names=9876* then complete event has to be returned.i,e as i shown above.
Hi,
Your match() syntax in just not good.
It should be
| eval names= mvfilter(match(names,"32"))
I think mvfind
may help you.
| eval names = if ( isnull ( mvfind ( names, "32" ) ), null, names )
@richgalloway thanks for the quick response, its working fine but above mentioned value(32) comes from drop down using token, the problem is when i select any value in the drop down list its working fine but if i select * which is default value of that drop down at that time shown an error. plz help on this, once again thanks.
The second argument to mvfind
(and match
) must be a valid regular expression. *
is not valid, but .*
is. Try that.
