Ethan Brown commented on an issue   Re: Facter produces mangled output with plaintext output and structured data In latest commit on OSX Mavericks 10.9 using sample structured fact Facter.add(:interfaces_array) do setcode do interfaces = Facter.value(:interfaces) # the 'interfaces' fact returns a single comma-delimited string, e.g., "lo0,eth0,eth1" interfaces_array = interfaces.split(',') interfaces_array end end Facter.add(:interfaces_hash) do setcode do interfaces_array = Facter.value(:interfaces_array) interfaces_hash = {} interfaces_array.each do |interface| ipaddress = Facter.value("ipaddress_#{interface}") if ipaddress interfaces_hash[interface] = ipaddress end end interfaces_hash end end Prior to merge: interfaces_array => lo0gif0stf0en0en3en4bridge0p2p0vmnet1vmnet2vmnet8 interfaces_hash => lo0127.0.0.1vmnet1192.168.121.1vmnet2192.168.42.1vmnet8172.16.253.1en0192.168.0.102 After merge commit: interfaces_array => ["lo0", "gif0", "stf0", "en0", "en3", "en4", "bridge0", "p2p0", "vmnet1", "vmnet2", "vmnet8"] interfaces_hash => {"vmnet1"=>"192.168.121.1", "vmnet2"=>"192.168.42.1", "vmnet8"=>"172.16.253.1", "lo0"=>"127.0.0.1", "en0"=>"192.168.0.102"} Looks good to me! Add Comment   Facter / FACT-601 Facter produces mangled output with plaintext output and structured data Facter uses the default `to_s` method when printing facts via plaintext. On Ruby 1.8.7 this produces badly mangled output which makes it difficult to read structured facts on the terminal without using YAML or JSON.
