Hi help-cfengine,
Running community 3.0.3.
Given a string, is there a way to address the characters in the string?
splitstring() seems to work fine as long as there is a delimiter, e.g.
vars:
"words" slist => splitstring("foo:bar:baz", ":", 3);
But it doesn't seem to function quite analogously to Perl/Python's
split. For example,
vars:
"chars" slist => splitstring("word", "", 4);
doesn't return an error, but the "chars" slist doesn't seem to be
defined, either. Using "." and "[.]" as regexps doesn't do it, either.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
The reason for this is that we have "hashed" home directories to create
- e.g. homedirs for joe and frank are:
/users/j/o/joe
/users/f/r/frank
Hope you can give me some pointers.
Regards,
Jim
