RES: Old "problem" with backquote and Mikrotik-Rate-Limit (fixed)

[Rafael Labiak Olivastro]

Perfect, fits like a glove. =)

I spent almost 3 days to figure out that way and now with just minutes you explain a much beter way, just the freeradius´s creator could be done this.

Thanks again, when you need something from Brazil let me know, maybe I can help you. 😉

  If the value in SQL has back quotes, they can be removed.  I'm not sure where the extra back quotes would come from.

  There's a better solution.  Just do this:

     if (reply:Mikrotik-Rate-Limit =~ /\`(.*)\`$/i) {
           update reply {
               &Mikrotik-Rate-Limit := "%{1}"
           }
       }

  You can do a regex match on just a substring, and then give that substring to an attribute.

  It also avoids forking an external program, which is *slow*, and therefore fragile.

  You're welcome.  We try hard.
