Try this

Your search..| eval FLOW=if(len(FLOW)=3,null,substr(FLOW,len(FLOW)-2,3))

If you need 3 digits leaving last 3 digits then try this

Your search..| eval FLOW=if(len(FLOW)=3,null,substr(FLOW,len(FLOW)-5,3))

You said you need last 3 digits. In that case for 100100135139 last 3 digits are 139 right?

I think instead of substr(FLOW,len(FLOW)-2,len(FLOW)) you can just write substr(FLOW,-3), which is basically the same, but might be easier to understand later.

Ok. you are saying FLOW is a field in log file with possible values as 123, 123456, 123456789 and etc.
Raw logs will be:
FLOW
123
123456
123456789

When you extract, you need
FLOW
null
456
789

Is this right?

You said you only need 3 digit in the end. In that case your second example should be FLOW=456, third example should be FLOW=789 and so on.. right?
