Cannot echo a cli variable "VLAN" in XIQ script

[Walt_Witkowski]

I AM TRYING TO CONFIRM THAT THE VARIABLE HAS BEEN CORRECTLY SET BEFORE I CONTINUE CREATING THE REST OF THE SCRIPT.

enable cli scripting
set var CLI.OUT " "

# Check if this is BMS vlan
show vlan
set var output $TCL(lrange ${CLI.OUT} 7 7)

If ($MATCH($output,"(BMS)") == 1 ) THEN
SET VAR VLAN (1)
ELSE
SET VAR VLAN (0)

echo $VLAN

Help Appreciated

Hi Walt,

I spun your TCL script through Chat GPT a few times and it came back with a version that does search VLANs for BMS. If exist it returns 1. If I delete the VLAN it returns 0.

TCL Script:

enable cli scripting
set var CLI.OUT ""

# Run the command
show vlan

# Initialize VLAN variable
set var VLAN 0

# Loop through CLI.OUT to check for "BMS"
foreach line $CLI.OUT {
echo "Checking: $line"
if {[regexp -nocase "BMS" $line]} {
set var VLAN 1
}
}

# Output the result
echo "VLAN BMS exists: $VLAN"
