Foreach loop inside a foreach loop Posted by selfism (selfism), 6 February 2005 My goal is to systematicaly connect to a number of hosts (host_list) and systematicaly run a number of commands (cmd_list). My code connects to the first host just fine but as soon as it hits the second foreach loop (cmd_loop - that will begin sending commands) it sends the data in my first foreach loop(host_list) rather than the commands!Is there a problem with using foreach loops inside of each other? Here is a simplication of my code: foreach element host_list { spawn ssh username@host #<login stuff> # this works fine, and I can "interact" on each server all day if I want foreach element cmd_list { send -- "$element\r" expect -re "$prompt" } #This ends up sending "ssh me@myhost" to the remote host instead of the command I intened. I have tested the "foreach cmd_list.." outside of the "foreach host_list" and it works just fine. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 7 February 2005 At a guess, you're showing "pseudo code" rather than the actual code here, and I think the problem you're having may be lost in translation. It should work fine as a loop in a loopp is a very common structure indeed.I did note in your code that you used "element" as the variable for both loops. It would certainly give you major problems if you tried to use the same name in both inner and outre loop - perhaps that's your problem?
