Hi \*,

im currently trying to get along with the dissect filter.  
So i have the following example log which i try to parse with dissect:

```
"a b" 33 c

```

And my dissect mapping looks like this  
mapping =\> { "message" =\> ""%{f1}" %{f2} %{f3}" }

What i'm trying to do is to get everything between double quotes in one field (f1).  
Are double quotes valid to be used within the mapping part as a delimiter? If yes, how do i implement it?

Kind regards  
alex

I'm not familiar with the dissect filter, but perhaps you'll have better luck with this:

```
mapping => { "message" => '"%{f1}" %{f2} %{f3}' }
```

Hi,

Had the same issue 😅 and using single quotes did the trick 😉

Best regards,

Charles.
