In trying to use ExecResult to do some manipulation of lists, I found some interesting and unexpected results.
The variable in this example: someresult = ( ExecResult(/bin/sh "/bin/echo baz|/bin/sed -e \"s/^\(.*\)$/&.conf/g\"") ) is set to: <$/&.conf/g\"")> Thats delimited with the angle brackets for clarity. I've tried various combinations of quoting and backslash-escaping here, but its not working. For reference, the original, commandline looks like this: /bin/echo baz|sed -e "s/^\(.*\)$/&.conf/g" My question, then, is how (apart from using an actual script in a file) does one quote and escape such an expression to fit it into ExecResult? I get the feeling that the problem is somehow in the way that cfengine parses the parentheses, even though they are within double quotes, passed to a shell. -- "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies." - Groucho Marx
