Here's to hoping this is fixed in 6?

[the_wolverine]

fixed in latest version 5.0.5 (or 5.0.4.1 :-))

This is also problem in our newly updated 5.0.3 instance. Any update from support?

[version 5.0.1]

For us the issue was with embedded commas in a CSV LOOKUP Table

e.g.

--

Lookup,ReturnedValue

123,Hello World

456,"Hello Boston, London, and Toronto"

--

Remove the embedded commas and your good

e.g.

--

Lookup,ReturnedValue

123,Hello World

456,Hello Boston and London and Toronto

--

.. issue is resolved

Looks there is an issue with embedded commas (or the method for having them in lookup tables in Splunk is not the same as the CSV standard?)

[dshakespeare_sp · Accepted solution]

Looking at web_service.log, an error in the format is seen

FieldPicker:60 - Could not load summary PCDATA invalid Char value , line , column .

Splunk are investigating a possible issue in Splunk 5.0 with parsing some unicode characters (or corrupt binary characters which may need escaping) (SPL-58178)

Was any fix provided for this?
