I want my users to be able to chose a file extension from a drop down that is populated with a search. I was thinking I could do something that looks for a decimal point like this:
index = git | rex field = Data.payload.head_commit.modified{} max_match=1 "(?<extension>*"."*)" | table extension
But that doesn't work because some of the file addresses have decimal points in them so it would grab an address an not a specific file name.
Some examples:
files/payments/Request.cs
App.files/payments.js
Hello/test.payments/request.xml
And I basically would want the drop down list to populate .cs, .js, .xml and NOT .files/payments.js or NOT .payments/request.xml
Try this
index = git | rex field = Data.payload.head_commit.modified{} max_match=1 "\w+(?<extension>\.\w+)$" | table extension
Try this
index = git | rex field = Data.payload.head_commit.modified{} max_match=1 "\w+(?<extension>\.\w+)$" | table extension
For getting all the values matched in a multivalued field, use max_match=0 (for unlimited)
I want the rex to get all extensions.
Okay will do. Thank you
If Data.payload.head_commit.modified{} is a multivalued field, do you want the rex to get all the extentions or just the first one?
By the way your approach is good as stats also eliminates duplicates. You might want to get rid of "sort extension" though, stats output will already by sorted by extension.
That works! Thank you. The only small problem I have is that Data.payload.head_commit.modified{} may have multiple values and so when the rex grabs the extensions it groups them weird. So I have a way around by doing
index = git | rex field=Data.payload.head_commit.modified{} max_match=1 "\w+(?
Because stats pulls out the indivual values instead of leaving them grouped. I didn't know if you knew of a cleaner way to do this. Thanks
