I have a file containing the following lines:

root # cat /tmp/mojo.out

Notes

I want to create a task to grab the line containing “Function : admin” and return the value “admin” placing into a parameter named “FUNCTION”, then use an if statement to set a custom field named “Quest” to a value of “True”. Is the following correct???

parameter “FUNCTION” = "{(tuple string item 3 of concatenation “, " of substrings separated by " " of line whose ( it contains “Function” ) of file “/tmp/mojo.out”)}”

if {(parameter “FUNCTION”) = “admin”}

setting “Quest”=“True” on {now} for client

endif

Don’t forget to start at 0, not 1. In this case tuple string item 3 is “Class”

Otherwise it looks right.

“tuple string” is Windows only. There is a bug open to migrate that operator to mac/unix.

In the mean time, try this:

parameter "FUNCTION" = "{(following text of first ":" of preceding text of first "Class" of line whose ( it contains "Function" ) of file "/tmp/mojo.out") as trimmed string}"  
 
if {(parameter "FUNCTION") = "admin"}  
setting "Quest"="True" on "{now}" for client  
endif

That parameter relevance substitution relies on the format of mojo.out being fairly static.

I was wrong,

tuple string item n

does exist on linux/unix (at least in recent versions) but not on Mac.
