The data type of the values in the new field is array when used with 2 arguments and string when used with 3 arguments.

Example

In the siem.logtrust.web.activity table, we want to create a new field to show only the second segment of the userid column. 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 table. 

Code Block
from siem.logtrust.web.activity
  select split(userid, "-", 1) as array_userid
Code Block
from siem.logtrust.web.activity
  select split(userid, "-", 1) as piece2_userid
