Hey Josh, thanks for the reply.
I'm still struggling with this. I have a hash of the values passed in from
the manifest with the keys including '_' which need to be re-written.
properties => {'john_wayne' => '1', 'liberty_valance' => '0', ...}
this needs to become:
properties => {'john-wayne' => '1', 'liberty-valance' => '0', ...}
I believe this is where they are defined in my type:
newproperty(:properties) do
desc "A hash table of propname=propvalue entries to apply to the link"
end
So, I should write a method in the type to re-write the keys? Something
like (forgive my ruby too):
def modify_keys(h)
h.keys.each do |k|
if(k.include? '_') then
h[k.gsub(/_/, '-')] = h[k]
h.delete(k)
end
end
end
Can I add a method like this to my property? How is such a method then
called in the provider?
Thanks,
Geoffrey
