[Puppet Users] Variable Interpolation (double interpolation)
Hello,
I have a group of variables like
$a_logs_project1 = machine1
$b_logs_project2 = machine2
then on the definition I''m genrating a variable like:
$machine_name = "${letter}_logs_${project}"
So $machine name will be something like: a_logs_project1
Now I need to convert that (or interpolate it somehow) into the real
value "machine1"
So I have a variable $machine_name which has the name of the variable
which has the real value. Do you have any ideas how to obtain this
value?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Yes... this would be a better cleaner solution.. sadly we are running 0.25 still until we upgrade. Hashes are great, aren''t they?
