+1 Sweet!
Could be as simple as something like:
module Puppet::Parser::Functions
newfunction(:path_components, :type => :rvalue) do |args|
File.split(args[0]).inject([]) { |segements,segment| segments <<
File.join((segments.last || ''),segment) }
end
end
(Warning: browser code sketch!!! This is not real cvode, it's never
ever been run, tested, or looked at by anyone but me. Just putting it
here to capture & share the thought of how easy it may be to implement
Nigel's idea)
