Re: Secure_cp with regex

Can you reply with at least one example?

I would expect you have something like a files promise with a copy_from body

https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.15/reference-promise-types-files.html#copy_from

paired with a file_select body to choose your files

https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.15/reference-promise-types-files.html#file_select

And we have a by_name body in masterfiles in lib/packages.cf

Setting up I do this:

```
# touch /var/cfengine/data/client_1_md5_5454eez4r6e4rez46r4ez6.txt
# touch /var/cfengine/data/client_2_md5_0316046ezaea4654re654.txt
# touch /var/cfengine/data/client_3_md5_5454eez4r6e4rez46r4ez6.txt
```

So I would expect you might try policy like the following. I put it in my 
services/main.cf just to test.

```
bundle agent main
{
 files:
    "/tmp/client_stuff/."
      create => "true";
    "/tmp/client_stuff"
      copy_from => secure_cp("$(sys.workdir)/data", "$(sys.policy_hub)"),
      depth_search => recurse(inf),
      file_select => by_name("client_.*_md5_5454eez4r6e4rez46r4ez6.txt");
}
```

Maybe you don't want to serve the files from $(sys.workdir)/data? That is 
accessible by default in controls/cf_serverd.cf.

```
           "$(def.dir_data)/"
           handle => "server_access_grant_access_data",
           shortcut => "data",
           comment => "Grant access to data directory",
           if => isdir( "$(def.dir_data)/" ),
           admit => { @(def.acl) };
```

So if you wanted to share /tmp/data you would have to add something like

```
"/tmp/data"
  if => isdir("/tmp/data/"),
  admit => { @(def.acl) };
```

Let us know if that helps and what other questions you have.
