Is it possible to put search inside an eval if statement ? I am making a search that if the count of the field is greater than 1 it would display "Please check your query" then if its equal to 1 it will proceed to my search..
eval test=if(count>1,"Please check query",count==1,*search command goes here*
Is the eval if statement the thing to use ?
Hi,
You can try using join.
The query can have following logic:
eval test=if(count>1,"Please check query","JOIN_SEARCH") | join test [your custom search | eval test="JOIN_SEARCH"]
Please note, the additional variable "test" in subsearch is required to join the record with first search. So, for all the events where the condition ( count > 1 ) fails, test variable in first search will get value of "JOIN_SEARCH".
Thanks!!
The first point, is that the if statement only takes 3 arguments, if(condition, iftrue, iffalse).
Can you please give more details? It would help to know the rest of your search string and what search command you want to append to it, etc.
