(solved) Little problem with "if" (ros 6.25)

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hello,
Can somebody open my eyes on where is my mistake, please. “If” doesn’t work for me in the following example. Where I’m trying to create short string from port name:

portname to portvlanID
ether1 to -e01
ether2 to -e02
..
ether10 to -e10
ether11 to -e11

:local portname "ether9"
:local portnumber "0"
:if (:pick $portname ( [:len $portname] - 2 ) = "1") \
   do={:set $portnumber "1$[:pick $portname ( [:len $portname] - 1)]"}\
   else={:set $portnumber "0$[:pick $portname ( [:len $portname] - 1)]"}
:local portvlanID "-$[:pick $portname 0 1]$portnumber"

(:pick $portname ( [:len $portname] - 2 ) = “1”) always returns “false”

bump…

Ok, in other words, how can i script (ether1, ether2,..,ether11,ether12,sfp1,sfp2) to (-e01,-e02,..,-e11,-e12,-s01,-s02)

To be use in the following script (would really like to calculate $portvlanID):

# ROS6 -- add new subnets (IP,NAT,Bridge,VLANport)
# no VLAN if port name is ""
# change from - to accordingly and locals

:local portname "ether9"
:local portvlanID "-e09"
:for i from=10 to=19 do={

/interface bridge
add name="bridge$i" protocol-mode=rstp
/ip pool
add name="pool$i" ranges="192.168.$i.50-192.168.$i.250"
/ip dhcp-server
add address-pool="pool$i" disabled=no interface="bridge$i" lease-time=4h name="dhcp$i"
/ip address
add address="192.168.$i.1/24" interface="bridge$i" network="192.168.$i.0"
/ip dhcp-server network
add address="192.168.$i.0/24" dns-server="8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4" gateway="192.168.$i.1"
/ip firewall address-list
add address="192.168.$i.0/24" list="subnets"
/ip firewall filter
add action=passthrough chain=forward dst-address="192.168.$i.0/24"
add chain=forward dst-address="192.168.$i.0/24" src-address="192.168.$i.0/24"
/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat src-address="192.168.$i.0/24" to-addresses="0.0.0.0"
/queue simple
add max-limit="5M/5M" name="queue$i" queue=default/default target="192.168.$i.0/24" disabled=yes
/tool graphing interface
add interface="bridge$i"

:if ($portname !="") do={
 /interface vlan
 add interface=$portname name="vlan$i$portvlanID" vlan-id="$i"
 /interface bridge port
 add bridge="bridge$i" interface="vlan$i$portvlanID"
 }
}

anybody?!

:frowning:
nobody can script, can we? help!

:local portname "ether9";
:local portvlanID;
:if ([:len $portname] = 6)  \
   do={:set portvlanID "-e0$[:pick $portname 5 6]";} 
   else={:set portvlanID "-e$[:pick $portname 5 7]";}

Thank you,
but what about sfp? I’m trying to catch last but one character and insert ‘0’ if interface number is less then 10, like so:
script (ether1, ether2,..,ether11,ether12,sfp1,sfp2) to (-e01,-e02,..,-e11,-e12,-s01,-s02)

I can’t figure out why (:pick $portname ( [:len $portname] - 2 ) = “1”) always returns “false”

Thats because you forgot to use . try:

:if ([:pick $portname ( [:len $portname] - 2 )] = "1")

exactly, how didn’t i see this!
