Variable not working

[Siavash]

Hi

I found a bug today, which maybe can be looked at later:

Condition WiFi connected: help says variables are supported. However I fed it with a global list variable of SSIDs and it just didn't care about it.

I think I'll be able to work around it if I check the SSID manually in a scrip or something. Just wanted to let you know about the bug.

Hi Siavash,

I think you need to convert your list of SSID's into a comma separated string of them. For example, if you currently have a list like:

ssidlist[0] = "wlan1";
ssidlist[1] = "wlan2";
ssidlist[2] = "wlan3";

You would need to convert it to:

ssidstring = "wlan1,wlan2,wlan3";

You can do this with the script command "join" like:

ssidstring = join(ssidlist, ",");

and then set the variable in "Wifi Connect" as {ssidstring}

Thanks.

I thought I can pass a list to it as it usually works fine with lists.

Anyway my global variable is kinda manual here. So I guess I can use a single comma sep. string as you hinted, or just stick to my workaround of checking ssid with the list using contains()

Hi Siavash,

The condition WiFi Connected supports variables but it's important to ensure that the variable replacement produces the correct text. For a regular string variable, you can just write the variable as {variable_xyz}. When you want to provide a complete list, you can use {ssidlist,listformat,comma}. In this case Automagic will ensure that the list is correctly formatted and that special characters are escaped properly when required.
