Without the ability to append to a list (or a scalar, for that matter), the only way I can see to do that would be to iterate over all of the list elements, use a method to append each of them to a file, then use the class set by the method when it's done to read that file back in to an slist using one of the file reading functions. And then go home and futily attempt to wash the dirty, dirty feeling away. Presuming, of course, that you actually need an slist (for something like a join or a grep) and you can't just directly iterate over the array using the index list. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
