How to move values on alternating rows onto the same row in my search results?

Hi,

I'm using postgres regex to pull two sets of values into my search. I've got all the data I want, but it seems to be on alternating lines.

In rows where column A is populated, column B is blank, and vice versa.

Is there any way to offset or align these values in splunk?

I would love to just move all the values of one column down by a row while leaving the other column as is.

Is this possible?

I actually just came across a solution that worked for me. I think it's a bit hacky but it's getting me the results I need.

Solution:
streamstats first(fieldB) window=2

I have to do a bunch of other manipulation now, but that got me to the point where I was able to use more familiar splunk tools to get me what I need.

I presume by "regex to pull two sets of values" you mean a eval foo = if(match(field,regex),thenThis,elseThat))

You need to provide a couple of example events and your search for us to help.

With Splunk... the answer is always "YES!". It just might require more regex than you're prepared for!
