Greetings. A little issue with using readstringlist. It seems the list
gets populated with garbage characters when the resulting list should
contain nothing. I tried to track it down, but I think Mark would find
this one within minutes.
Consider the following example:
##########################################################################
body common control {
bundlesequence => { "readstring_test" };
}
##########################################################################
bundle agent readstring_test {
vars:
"entry" slist => { readstringlist("/tmp/testfile","#.*","[\n]",200,4000) };
reports:
Yr2009::
"entry:$(entry)";
}
##########################################################################
If /tmp/testfile contain only comments:
############################################
# comments
#
# more comments
#
# boy, do I love comments
#
############################################
The resulting report looks like:
cf3 =========================================================
cf3 reports in bundle readstring_test (1)
cf3 =========================================================

cf3 Verifying SQL table promises is only available with Cfengine Nova or above
