:range command

[Amm0]

in the recent version v7.17, MikroTik introduced the :range function, which combined with the ability to use interface list, can improve the VLAN creation process.
I’m currently trying to add multiple interfaces as list members (/interface list member add interface=ether1,ether2… list=VLAN2),

Does anyone have a clever solution or can point me in the right direction?

I’m not sure [:range] is actually too useful here, since you still need some kind of loop to use it for VLAN config. For example,
:for i from=1 to=10 do={ /interface/list/member/add interface=“ether$i” list=VLAN }
is same as
:foreach i in=[:range 1 10] do={ /interface/list/member/add interface=“ether$i” list=VLAN }

I wrote a longer post about VLAN scripting:
