Ah, now that problem does ring a bell or two. What I've done in the past is this: 1. create a copy of the array 2. mutilate this copy using regsubst(), i.e. uniquify the names (this will typically involve $name from the calling scope) 3. make your looping define retrieve the original array entries (by another use of regsubst() I believe) It's ugly and probably not performant, but it has worked before... ;/ HTH, Felix -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
