Is there a way I could do something along the lines of: having a file - tests.dat test1 test2 test3
and including it into a file hosts.dat host1 # include tests.dat host2 # include tests.dat host3 # include tests.dat
and then putting in into the hosts.cfg file
group-old test1|test2|test3 include hosts.dat
Sadly, no... include (and directory) operate on a per-line basis.
FWIW, when I get to the point where there's a ton of repeated content like that, I simply 'include' a generated file (whether textually assembled or DB-driven).
HTH,
