How to write loops in patterns?

[PN5]

I have list of entries in pattern table variable. The requirement is to loop through each table entry and run a command i.e. 'Parse Command output' and then store the result. How do I put a loop around a pattern step ?

simple as running..

'command' table.value[*]

This will run the command for each entry in the table you created in the prior step.

Sorry Doug, thought I understood what you meant but tried this as well but below is not working, neither when I try it like

"certutil.exe -store "  + $CertificateStores.StoreName[*]

or

"certutil.exe -store "  $CertificateStores.StoreName[*]

Am I missing anything here??

Hey Patrick,

Yeah I was wrong on this one, thought it would be as simple as that but it isnt, it doesn't work that way.  I checked with the folks upstairs and seems you can (or have to) do this in a eval script.  If you take a look at the f5 BigIP LTM pattern, in the connections section at the bottom, step 23.1 is a good example of how to loop through a table (pools) and run the command you want from them...

Thanks Doug!

This indeed did it for me, using the CTX in a Transform Table to execute a shellCommand.

Cheers, Patrick
