Macro Syntax Multiline

Macros can contain line breaks. The Admin Portal provides a multiline input box for macros. For example:

• If a macro that returns a string has string prefix or suffix, for example, a macro with the value:

  "AAA
  {{data.Countries.iso_country_code | country_name:'South Africa'}}
  AAA"
  

  will output:

  AAA
  ZAF
  AAA
  

A JSON export of the macro will show the line breaks, for example:

"data": {
  "macro": "AAA\n{{data.Countries.iso_country_code | country_name:'South Africa'}}\nAAA",
  "name": "MACRO1"
}

• If the macro is an Expect script:

  expect "HQ>\r"
  send "enable\r"
  expect "Password:\r"
  send  "{{device_details.enable_password}}\r"
  

Line breaks cannot be entered inside a macro, for example:

"AAA
{{data.Countries.iso_country_code |
country_name:'South Africa'}}
AAA"

is not valid.
