Custom facts with exclusions

[Harish Kothuri]

Hi All,

I'm generating custom facts and want to exclude few software's in black list. 

Ex: 7-Zip is a software causing a problem as its name starts with digit and not a letter. The name also has some spaces, hiphens.

file { "c:/marionette-collective/etc/facts.yaml":

    loglevel => debug,

    content  => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject { |k,v| k.to_s =~ /(uptime_seconds|timestamp|free)/}.to_yaml %>"), # exclude rapidly changing facts

  }

I'm trying something like below , am no ruby expert and can't figure out the right way.

file { "c:/marionette-collective/etc/facts.yaml":

    loglevel => debug,

    content  => inline_template("<%= scope.to_hash.reject { |k,v| k.to_s =~ /(uptime_seconds|timestamp|free|'7-zip 5.6 (x64 version)')/}.to_yaml %>"), # exclude rapidly changing facts

  }

can some please help me. Becuase of this entire facts are not loading and puppet agent -t is failing. A big show stopper this is. 

Thanks
