F5 iRULEs lack user defined functions (e.g. TCL proc) how about a macro or pre-processing capability

Greetings,

 

 

Yeah, this really sucks not having procedures. It's very odd why they aren't there. Most other TCL stuff is here, so I can't see why this would be a drama.

 

 

Regarding iRule Editor preprocessor type macros that would be cool, but much more important is fixing up:

 

- correctly parsing responses back from the f5 when saving (rather than having to run 'tail -n 30 -f /var/log/ltm' all the time)

 

- making it save when I click save, rather than having to click it twice (very weird why this happens, not sure if this is because I'm behind a proxy server or whatever, but it works very reliably as long as i click save twice)

 

- getting it to find my missing braces. i find myself copying the code into another editor like Notepad++ just to find the braces '{' '}'

 

 

Kind regards,
