Array get and foreach statement HELP!

Hi Guys,

 

i'm going crazy with a simple array operation in a foreach statement. If i run:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

array unset colorcount

 

array set colorcount {

 

red 1

 

green 5

 

blue 4

 

white 9 }

 

foreach {color count} [array get colorcount] { log local0. "Color: $color Count: $count"}

 

 

i expect a reply "Color: red Count:1"

 

 

But on my logs i've got:

 

 

Feb 1 16:02:51 local/tmm info tmm[23012]: Rule IRULE-SMS-Sender-Rate : Color: blue Count: blue

 

Feb 1 16:02:51 local/tmm info tmm[23012]: Rule IRULE-SMS-Sender-Rate : Color: 4 Count: 4

 

Feb 1 16:02:51 local/tmm info tmm[23012]: Rule IRULE-SMS-Sender-Rate : Color: white Count: white

 

Feb 1 16:02:51 local/tmm info tmm[23012]: Rule IRULE-SMS-Sender-Rate : Color: 9 Count: 9

 

 

i've done this simple test because i'm wrinting an irule and i've recognized that the foreach statement on arrays seems not working!

 

 

Please, help

 

 

Regards

 

Tony

  • Thanks Aaron,

     

    i've found the post yesterday night.... Is there any workaround as far as you know?

     

     

    it is a foreach statement issue or an array issue?

     

     

    i have to implement an irule very similar to this one

     

    http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/RateLimit_HTTPRequest.html

     

     

    i was thinking about "table commands" instead of the use of arrays.

     

     

    what do you think?

     

     

    Thanks for your help!

     

    Regards
