NOTE: I figured that a lot of people will search "How does punct work?" and want to know. So if you were wondering: Punct info about half way down is a basic explanation.
ACTUAL QUESTION:This questions is not as easy as the title sounds. I know exactly WHAT punct does my question is where does it do it? I want to make a similar field but I cannot find the punct field extraction in manager->fields. Does anyone know how to look at this?

punct is called both an "internal" field and a "default" field. Like many other default fields, it is computed at parsing time and stored in the index. This is very different than search-time fields.
I agree with Luke; I think this is done in code as part of the parsing process. But perhaps a more knowledgeable person will chime in.
Documentation here: Use default fields
I couldn't find anything else.

I meant that I didn't remember that it would make more sense that way. lol

Good enough for me I knew it was a default field but didn't think that it would make sense to be a binary. Coolio.

Sounds like Splunk proprietary binary code to me.
