Here's a copy-paste from my pools.conf director configuration file fragment... In the end, I stopped using labels, but why let documentation go to waste? :) Hopefully this will help explain how the variable replacement (and formatting) flags work. ================================= http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Variable_Expansion.html As a quick primer to the existing documentation, when you expand a variable, you can pass formatting flags. In the pattern ${varname:format1:format2:format3} ... An example of "format#" above could be "p/2/0/r", which translates to:"PAD to TWO digits with ZERO pushing things to the RIGHT" You can test variable expansion in bconsole with the "var" command p/4/_/l Pad to four digits with _'s appearing on right o5-10 Substring index 5 length 10 o0,10 Substring index 0 length 4 u uppercase l lowercase # Hash mark means return length of variable Larger examples ${Month:p/2/0/r} Month in double-digit form ${Level:o0-4:u} Level in four-letter uppercase form ("Incremental" to "INCR", etc.) ${Level:s/ /_/} Regex: Replace spaces with underscores Or to translate this big kahuna: ${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}_${Level:s/ //:p/4/_/r:o0-4:u}_${Job} 2007-01-29_FULL_client.example.com-MySuperJob In this case the padding with underscores is done because "Level" Might be blank, and if it is it will cause the substring call of 0-4 to complain. ================================= --Darien Hager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
