How to find certain CAPS with FIND WHERE command

Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:47 am

Hi Guys

I need to use the find where command in a script.
I am trying to write a script where I need to turn off a guest wifi in my my CAPS-MAN at certain times.
I have over 90 CAPS and I only need to turn off only the ones where the names start with BTH. (examples: BTH indoor, BTH Outdoor, BTH room1, BTH corner, etc....)

for this example I am using print where just to test it.
this is how far I got but it is not working...
Code: Select all
 /caps-man radio> print where REMOTE-CAP-IDENTITY={BTH}
Don't worry about the rest of the script, that part is working when I use the full syntax in the Terminal. I just need to get the FIND WHERE part working

Please assist, I know this forum always comes through.
Thanks
TroyQ

For exact match
Code: Select all
 /caps-man radio> print where REMOTE-CAP-IDENTITY="BTH"

For regex match
Code: Select all
 /caps-man radio> print where REMOTE-CAP-IDENTITY~"BTH"

@TroyQ, @afuchs doesn't bring anything, don't waste your time.

Code: Select all
# for print
/caps-man radio print where remote-cap-identity~"^BTH"

# for script simlpy replace "enable" with "disable" when needed
:foreach radio in=[/caps-man radio print as-value where remote-cap-identity~"^BTH"] do={
    :local mac (($radio)->"radio-mac")
    /caps-man interface enable [find where radio-mac=$mac]
}

But... what you want exactly do?
Disable / Enable all radio that have "BTH" at the start of radio name?

Probably you need ONLY THIS instead, is more simpler and linear:
Code: Select all
/caps-man interface disable [find where radio-name~"^BTH"]


/caps-man interface enable [find where radio-name~"^BTH"]

Thank you! @rextended
You are a genius! :D
I just needed to turn the students WiFi off at night and leave the Faculty WiFi on.
This is what I ended up with using a script in scheduler:

This turns it off in the evening
Code: Select all
/caps-man provisioning 
set slave-configurations="" [find where comment~"^BTH"]
/caps-man radio 
provision [find where remote-cap-identity~"^BTH"]


and this turns it back on in the morning
Code: Select all
/caps-man provisioning 
set slave-configurations="BTH Leerders" [find where comment~"^BTH"]
/caps-man radio 
provision [find where remote-cap-identity~"^BTH"]
Thanks again!!! :mrgreen:
