As Felix implied, you can write a custom function. You can also use the template() or inline_template() function for this purpose -- the result is just a string, so it can be assigned to a puppet variable or otherwise processed by Puppet manifest code; it does not need to be assigned directly to a resource parameter. And, yes, you might find formal training to be very useful. John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
