classesmatching

Prototype: classesmatching(regex)

Return type: slist

Description: Return the list of set classes matching regex.

This function searches for the regular expression in the list of currently set classes (in order hard, then soft, then local to the current bundle).

Arguments:

• regex : Regular expression, in the range .*

A regular expression matching zero or more classes in the current list of set classes. The regular expression is unanchored.

Example:

    body common control
    {
      bundlesequence => { run };
    }

    bundle agent run
    {
      vars:
          "all" slist => classesmatching(".*");
          "c" slist => classesmatching("cfengine");
      reports:
          "All classes = $(all)";
          "Classes matching 'cfengine' = $(c)";
    }

Note: This function replaces the allclasses.txt static file available in older versions of CFEngine.
