Peter,
I do use nvdbimport, and it works fine. I don't use any quotes,
and I don't use spaces between field-definitions. Don't know if
I can or not... but I don't.
You should probably lose the quotes (single or double).
I've never tried it with quotes. You might want to try
a back-slash in front of the quote if you insist on including it
in the string, or use something else to delimit the cards.
The following example should work without a problem:
IP Hostname,CardList
demo1.com,This is my string
demo2.com,card1 card2 card3 card4 card5
demo3.com,card 1::card 2::card 3::card 4
Like I said... you'll have to experiement if you want to use quotes.

Subject: [NV-L] nvdbimport question
Hello,
I'm trying to import a list of strings (installed PCI cards):
created the attribute definition, similar to 'TopM Interface List', in a
new file in /usr/OV/fields/C
Field "CardList" {
Type StringType;
Flags list;
}
I can see it by using the ovobjprint -f command. How can I specify the list
in my import file? I tried to search in the documentation and the nv-l
archive without success. I tried with the following import files:
1.
IP Hostname, CardList
demo.com,"card1" "card2"
2.
IP Hostname, CardList
demo.com,'card1' 'card2'
I'm even unable to add a single string to this new field:
3.
IP Hostname, CardList
demo.com,card1
Could someone let me know how can I do this? I think it's possible because
the 'TopM Interface List' holds similar data what I'd like to import, but I
don't know if this type of import is possible with nvdbimport. I would
appreciate any advice...
I'm using NV 6.0.1 with AIX 4.3.3.
