To answer your question, you have to use xargs command in your Irule capture statement. This will convert your multiline output to oneline with spaces inbetween. So it will look like below,
IRULE=`tmsh list ltm virtual ${VAL} rules | awk 'BEGIN {RS="\n}"} !/none/ {print}' | grep -v ' rules \|}' | grep -v ltm.virtual | xargs`Hope this helps.

Hi Jaikumar, thanks so much! piping the output of the irule capture to xargs worked a treat!
