Issue #11967 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Status changed from Rejected to Needs More Information
Assignee changed from Kelsey Hightower to Steve Shipway

Can you elaborate more on the exact semantics you're looking for?

It looks like you want to split each array element that matches, and preserve 
existing array order when doing so? What about nested arrays?

I'm somewhat wary of this request of performing similar but not the same 
operations on different data types, but if we can come up with obvious 
semantics it might be ok.

Feature #11967: split() function does not work on array variables
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11967

Author: Steve Shipway
Status: Needs More Information
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Steve Shipway
Category: functions
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords: split
Branch: 


The split() function results in an error message if the first parameter is an 
array.
While this usage may not have been originally intended, it would be very useful 
for it to handle this case as we are using split() to handle the return value 
of extlookup which can be either a string or an array.

EG:

$avar = [ 'a.b', 'c', 'd.e' ]
$b = split( $avar, '[.]' )

Currently results in error, but would be better if it resulted in $b = [ 'a', 
'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' ]
