I think you misunderstand my question.
Both of these lines return the same thing (in my case, I realize that %deref_r
would go deeper if it were necessary):
memberA=%deref("member","fqdn")
memberB=%deref_r("member","fqdn")
However if I try to use them inline like so:
memberA=StringBefore%deref("member","fqdn")StringAfter
memberB=StringBefore%deref_r("member","fqdn")StringAfter
Then I get no memberA attribute at all, while memberB gives me what I expect,
which is
memberB=StringBefore<dereferenced fqdn>StringAfter
For each member value in the source.
Nothing in the documentation (that I have seen) explains this difference in
behavior. I spent hours trying to figure it out.
