Trying to a SED like search and replace?
[SOLVED] Hello, I have a few events which contain a raw field with multiple [
]'s. I'd like to replace all occurances with " ". I tried in a Eval function: _raw=_raw.replace(/[
]+/, " "). This works for the first occurance, but not the others. I also tried with replaceAll, but that just crossed out the entire field. Is there a simple way to just do a SED like search and replace?

The Mask function is what I'd look at

Hi, thank you. I just tried Mask, but I don't see a way to make it match all instances for the carriage return. It again just replaces the first.

In the Regex field, there are flags on the right side

Enable the g flag for global

ah very nice thank you. This works perfectly for literal strings. But when I put [
] there the output goes completely white

with global set

without global the first instance is replaced sucessfully

That is strange and shouldn't happen...

just to be sure I copied the raw event in notepad++ to verify the carriage returns; they're there. hmm

Just to see how many it spits out

one should remove the filter with which one identtifeid the multiple carriage retunrs
with the filter gone, it works perfectly! thanks again0 -
