Jinja Wildcards in States

[Robert Hernandez]

I cant find out how to do wildcards when comparing strings in Jinja.  Im trying to do the following comparison with the grains['osrelease'] == '6*' but it does not seems to match.  Here is my state file:

{% if grains['os_family'] == 'RedHat' %}

{% if grains['osrelease'] == '6*'* %}

yum-plugin-priorities:

  pkg:

    - installed

rpmforge_repos:

  cmd.run:

    - unless: rpm -qa | grep -q rpmforge

    - names:

      - rpm -Uvh http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

      - rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

    - require:

      - pkg: yum-plugin-priorities

{% endif %}

{% if grains['osrelease'] == '5*' %}

yum-priorities:

  pkg:

    - latest

    - require:

      - pkg: yum

{% endif %}

{% endif %}

 Ive been looking up and down the Jinja docs with no luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

does .startswith work?

{% if grains['osrelease'].startswith('6') %}

Yes it does, thanks Tom!  I didn't realize I could just use the built-in python string methods.

I've been doing it this way:

grains['osrelease'][0] == '6'

This is another great way to go about getting a match to the string, thanks Jacob!
