Example
In the siem.logtrust.web.activity
table, we want to create a new field to show only the hour value in each string of the userid column. We need to get the part of the string that comes between the first and second : occurence. Using the - value as separator, each value will be split into different pieces. To do this, we will create a new field using the Split operation.
...
split(string, "separator_string")
split(string, "separator_string", piece_integer)
split(string, "separator_string") [piece_integer]
Example
You can copy the following LINQ scripts and try the above examples on the siem.logtrust.web.activity
