Hi all -
I've having trouble with variable expansion. I can get it to do padding
and I can get it to do autoincrement, but I can't figure out how to do
both in the same operation.
Here's the scenario:
I've been using Bacula for a couple years, but up to now I've been
labeling tapes manually. Now I'm trying to set up automatic tape
labeling. My tape names look like TAPE01, TAPE02, etc. so I obviously
want to continue labeling them with that format. Unfortunately, I can't
use the built-in NumVols because some earlier tapes have been destroyed,
so the number of volumes in the pool no longer coincides with the next
tape number. I've got a database counter defined in bacula-dir.conf
Counter {
Name = DefaultPoolCounter
Minimum=1
Catalog=MyCatalog
}
The padding seems to work OK:
# var TAPE${DefaultPoolCounter:p/2/0/r}
TAPE02
And the autoincrement seems to work OK
#var TAPE${DefaultPoolCounter+}
TAPE2
#var TAPE${DefaultPoolCounter+}
TAPE3
But when I try to do both in the same operation, the counter is
incremented, but the padding specifier is not honored. It's printed
literally:
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter+:p/2/0/r}
TAPE3p/2/0/r}
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter+:p/2/0/r}
TAPE4p/2/0/r}
I've tried the '+' sign in various places...
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter:p/2/0/r+}
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter:p/2/0/r}+
#var ${DefaultPoolCounter:+p/2/0/r}
all to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
