Use of regular expressions

[Antonio Xanxess]

Hello everyone!
I have a problem and would like to help me. I have to control the configuration of an application that has special features. The application itself is an educational portal. These sites are hosted on a single machine and serve different schools. The file where you see that schools have a website on the server is located in /etc/application/centros.conf. The content is similar to this:
ID_CENTRO1
ID_CENTRO2
....
The application itself is hosted in /var/www/APP/ and hosts various portals through the directories named ID_CENTRO1, ID_CENTRO2, etc ...

My goal is to make a single resource file to modify a file in the platform for all schools, for example:

/var/www/APP/ID_CENTRO[X]/config/config.php

This was thinking of a facter extract the file contents and pass it through a custom function, but the problem I am not really know how many centers can have the server (there are several such servers and each has a different number of platforms)

My question is, is there any possibility of a resource file (either within a defined function or your own resource file) using regular expressions?
For example:

{file "/var/www/APP/[0-9]?/config/config.php"
...
}

You have any other ideas how I could do this?

Thank you very much for everything, a greeting!

Hi,

This is the sort of thing I would use hiera for. 

It may not match your workflow but I would create a yaml file with details for the portals like so:

Portals:

  ID_Centro:

    path: /var/.....

    owner: ...

Then you could use create_resource to apply the resource.

$my_list = hiera('portals')

create_resource(file, $my_list)

See the puppet docs for exact details and syntax.
