Prototype: readstringarray(array, filename, comment, split, maxentries, maxbytes)

Return type: int

Description: Populates array with up to maxentries values, parsed from the first maxbytes bytes in file filename.

Reads a two dimensional array from a file. One dimension is separated by the regex split, the other by the lines in the file. The first field of the lines names the first array argument.

The comment field is a multiline regular expression and will strip out unwanted patterns from the file being read, leaving unstripped characters to be split into fields. Using the empty string ("") indicates no comments.

Returns the number of keys in the array, i.e., the number of lines matched.

Arguments:

• array : Array identifier to populate, in the range [a-zA-Z0-9_$(){}\[\].:]+
• filename : File name to read, in the range "?(/.*)
• comment : Unanchored regex matching comments, in the range .*
• split : Unanchored regex to split lines into fields, in the range .*
• maxentries : Maximum number of entries to read, in the range 0,99999999999
• maxbytes : Maximum bytes to read, in the range 0,99999999999

Example:

code

readintarray("array_name","/tmp/array","#[^\n]*",":",10,4000);

Input:

code

1: 5:7:21:13
2:19:8:14:14
3:45:1:78:22
4:64:2:98:99

Results in:

code

array_name[1][0]   1
array_name[1][1]   5
array_name[1][2]   7
array_name[1][3]   21
array_name[1][4]   13
array_name[2][0]   2
array_name[2][1]   19
array_name[2][2]   8
array_name[2][3]   14
array_name[2][4]   14
array_name[3][0]   3
array_name[3][1]   45
array_name[3][2]   1
array_name[3][3]   78
array_name[3][4]   22
array_name[4][0]   4
array_name[4][1]   64
array_name[4][2]   2
array_name[4][3]   98
array_name[4][4]   99

code

readstringarray("array_name","/tmp/array","\s*#[^\n]*",":",10,4000);

Input:

code

at:x:25:25:Batch jobs daemon:/var/spool/atjobs:/bin/bash
avahi:x:103:105:User for Avahi:/var/run/avahi-daemon:/bin/false    # Disallow login
beagleindex:x:104:106:User for Beagle indexing:/var/cache/beagle:/bin/bash
bin:x:1:1:bin:/bin:/bin/bash
# Daemon has the default shell
daemon:x:2:2:Daemon:/sbin:

Results in a systematically indexed map of the file:

code

...
array_name[daemon][0]   daemon
array_name[daemon][1]   x
array_name[daemon][2]   2
array_name[daemon][3]   2
array_name[daemon][4]   Daemon
array_name[daemon][5]   /sbin
array_name[daemon][6]   /bin/bash
...
array_name[at][3]       25
array_name[at][4]       Batch jobs daemon
array_name[at][5]       /var/spool/atjobs
array_name[at][6]       /bin/bash
...
array_name[games][3]    100
array_name[games][4]    Games account
array_name[games][5]    /var/games
array_name[games][6]    /bin/bash
...

Prepare:

code

echo "1: 5.0:7:21:13" > /tmp/readrealarray.txt
echo "2:19:8.1:14:14" >> /tmp/readrealarray.txt
echo "3:45:1:78.2:22" >> /tmp/readrealarray.txt
echo "4:64:2:98:99.3" >> /tmp/readrealarray.txt

Run:

code

bundle agent main
{
  vars:

      "lines" int => readrealarray("array_name",
                                  "/tmp/readrealarray.txt",
                                  "#[^\n]*",
                                  ":",
                                  10,
                                  4000);

  reports:
      "array_name contains $(lines) keys$(const.n)$(with)"
        with => string_mustache("", "array_name");

}

Output:

code

R: array_name contains 4 keys
{
      "1": {
             "0": "1",
             "1": " 5.0",
             "2": "7",
             "3": "21",
             "4": "13"
      },
      "2": {
             "0": "2",
             "1": "19",
             "2": "8.1",
             "3": "14",
             "4": "14"
      },
      "3": {
             "0": "3",
             "1": "45",
             "2": "1",
             "3": "78.2",
             "4": "22"
      },
      "4": {
             "0": "4",
             "1": "64",
             "2": "2",
             "3": "98",
             "4": "99.3"
      }
