Multiple Value Variables, Values Are Different Types

You can create multiple value text objects, but have each value serve a different purpose. For example, the predefined netflow_Destination text object should have 3 values, in order, interface name, destination IP address, and UDP port number.

Objects defined in this way should have a determinate number of values. Otherwise, they would be hard to process.

Use the get method to process these objects. Type .get(n) at the end of the object name, replacing n with an index into the object. Start counting at 0, even though the text object lists its values starting at 1.

For example, the Netflow_Add_Destination object uses the following line to add the 3 values from netflow_Destination to the ASA flow-export command.

flow-export destination $netflow_Destination.get(0) $netflow_Destination.get(1) 
$netflow_Destination.get(2) 

In this example, you would use the Insert menu in the FlexConfig object editor to add the first use of $netflow_Destination, and then add .get(0). But you would type in the variable directly for the $netflow_Destination.get(1) and $netflow_Destination.get(2) specifications.
