instances2string Function

The instances2string function combines several instances into a single string. The syntax for this operation is:

variableA=instances2string(what, "separator")

where:

variableA identifies the variable

what is a variable that has a number of instances

separator marks the separation between the elements of the string. This value must be specified between quotes because it could be a space.

For example, you could use the following variable to find the list of names and alias names for a given machine:

NameList=instances2string($cn, " ")

If the cn attribute has the values camembert, Cam, Bertie, the resulting string would be:

camembert Cam Bertie
