nested variables

[sHaggY_caT]

Hi all!

I have quation: how i may use nested variables/facts? For example, I
have variable $iface. It's variable declared in node brakets, and, use
with defenition. iface may be eth0, eth1(Linux), em0, ...
<freebsd>, ...

is fact:

facter | grep eth0 | grep mac
macaddress_eth0 => 54:52:00:3D:CB:40

We don'nt know name of $iface in our module (to generate network
settings), how we may use nested variables/facts? Syntax:

$mac = ${$macaddress_${iface}}

Does'nt work.

In documentation i did'nt find answer for my quation...

Have a look at the generate() and inline_template() functions, one of
which should provide you with a workaround to your problem. There may
be a more elegant solution though.

Thank you very much for answer.

Do you may print simple working example?

I don't find it in documentation, sorry

$ifaces = split($interfaces, ',')

define do::it {
$tpl = "<% if has_variable?(\"ipaddress_$name\") -%>
The IP address for $name is: <%= ipaddress_$name %>
<% end -%>
"

notice(inline_template($tpl))
}

do::it { $ifaces: }

Shouldn't this be ${macaddress_${iface}} ?

Have you tried that? Doesn't work for me in 0.25.1.

Not really, tested it now, and you are right, but there was an extra $
in there, sorry :">
