00298: add ability to nest environment variables in config files

« 00297 | Issues | 00299 »

Summary: add ability to nest environment variables in config files

Created: 2010–11–18 10:58

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: frankie

Version: 2.1

Released_In: 2.2

Description:

currently, uses can have some dynamic capability using variables, such as ${MYVAR}. Sometimes, it is useful to define various strings into variables, and then use a variable to select which string you want, which would require a nested variable selection, such as:

...
    command_line
    {
        -params ${${DISP}_params}
    }
...

which would let us define "bob_params", "mary_params", "joe_params", and then when running, select "DISP" to be either bob, joe, or mary and get the right parameter string.
