Hi,  
I have a text field in elasticsearch and would like to create a scripted field to show the same field in couple of lines, something like below:

```auto
**Field:**
token = "192.168.128.1:TestVitualServer"

```

I would like to split the above field with ':' and show the '192.168.128.1' on top 'TestVirtualServer' in next line on any Visualization?Could you please help me in doing it. Thanks

Hi @paul1243,

I tried to get this to work, but wasn't able. Your best bet might be to index them in a separate field with the newline character added. That seems to work for me.

Let me know if this helps

Thanks,  
Chris
