Bug #4155: Using variables in regex
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4155

Author: christian c
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Brice Figureau
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: regex variable regular expression
Branch: 


It seems as if it is not possible to match the content of a variable in a regex:

$users = "peter root user1 wwwrun"
$username = "user1"
file {  "userdata.tar.bz2":
                source => "puppet://$server/modules/$module/userdata.tar.bz2",
                ensure => $users ? {
                                /${username}/ => absent,
                                default => present,
                        },

} 
I did quite a lot variations in writing the variable (#{variable}, \$variable, 
\$\{variable\}) but nothing worked.
If it's already possible, it would be nice to mention it in the docs.
