How to compare two strings/Arrays

[Abhishek singh]

Hello Group,

I am trying to use facts like interfaces and based on the available interfaces perform  a common task.

Please help me out for below:

1. How  strings from core facts and local variable can be compared?

For example if interfaces has "eth0, lo, .." and i want to match from it.

1. if ('lo' in $facts['interfaces'])     # it is not working but also no validation error.

2.    if  ! ($facts['interfaces'] in [ 'lo', 'ens160' ])   # it is not working but also no validation error.

       

is it possible to put a condition on facts existence itself? 

like if ipaddress_eth0 is then perform action from code/enter in loop.


Please help me out.
Also, Please suggest any links for future understanding.

Thanks.

$facts['interfaces'] is a string, not an array.  For an array of interface names, either use $facts['interfaces'].split(',') or $facts['networking']['interfaces'].keys().

Other than that, your logic should work fine.
