Issue #11133 has been updated by Neil Hemingway.
[patch](https://github.com/nhemingway/puppet/commit/d1712e964d601602e5819298658afb3684a65e8c). Note: No tests because (as the commit makes clear) I'm uncertain whether this is the best place for the fix. I need a better understanding of the architecture of puppet. ---------------------------------------- Bug #11133: Regex captures don't work in node definitions https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11133 Author: Neil Hemingway Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Neil Hemingway Category: node Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1 Keywords: node regex capture Branch: With the following manifest: node /^ws-([[:digit:]]+)/ { $hostid = $2 notice("site.pp: Hostid: $hostid") # Same regex as above if $hostname =~ /^ws-([[:digit:]]+)/ { notice("\$2: $2") } } When run against a machine ws-01, I get out: puppet-master[29847]: (Scope(Node[ws-:digit:])) site.pp: Hostid: puppet-master[29847]: (Scope(Node[ws-:digit:])) $2: 01 -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
