Merging multiple classes

Howdy,   I've an irule which is referencing a list of URI's stored in a class, doing a starts_with match on it.   is there any way to take multiple classes and merge them dynamically (probably ...

But a list can't be used with a single match operation right?

I'd argue that a list is actually more flexible than a data group:

http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/lsearch.htm

So say you had a few simple single-value data groups. Example:

dgl_test_1

"/test1" := ""
"/test2" := ""
"/test3" := ""
"/test4" := ""

dgl_test_2

"/foo1" := ""
"/foo2" := ""
"/foo3" := ""
"/foo4" := ""

dgl_test_3 

"/bar1" := ""
"/bar2" := ""
"/bar3" := ""
"/bar4" := ""

And an iRule that did something like this:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    set uri_list "[class get dgl_test_1] [class get dgl_test_2] [class get dgl_test_3]"
}

** notice the space between the [class get ] commands.

This would give you a single list of URIs that you could sort or search.
