Forum: CFEngine Help Subject: Re: List element extraction fails Author: m...@last.fm Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,27162,27190#msg-27190
Ah - that's the key distinction, I think. Both "public" and "private" are arrays populated by the "regextract" function, which assigns regex backreferences to named elements in the array. However, "nm_elements" is not an array - it's simply a list returned by "splitstring". So I think your first comment was the answer - that I can't extract a single element from the list, and I was overlooking the fact that the regextract fucntions were populating arrays, not lists. Still not sure how to get what I want out, but at least I now see where it's going wrong.... thanks. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
