Subject: Some advice on how to use babel to generate cisco configs
Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2013 09:24:11 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m2liba9uno.fsf@ursys.com.au> (raw)

Good morning,

I have been trying to figure out without much luck how to use babel to
generate some cisco configs.


What I would like to achieve is to have a table containing a few values,
e.g. ip address vlan number etc.

Then have a cisco config in the org file with markers where the
substitutions are to be inserted.
Run through the table and create a node in the org file one for each row
of the table.

The end result should be a set of cisco configs with the substitutions
made.  I was hoping to also use shell to call pwgen to generate a
random password to insert.
  
Hope that ramble made some sort of sence.

Can someone give me some ideas on how to put this together?

I tried to use an org source block and a shell function to parse it.  I
couldn't quite tie together how to get the output to work correctly or
how to be able to parse each line....


Kind regards

Bart
