Ext scripts not working from an include file?

Hello,

 
    First - thank you for Hobbit, It's excellent and I personally love it.  

 
    The real reason for the email:  I've got a bunch of ext scripts that I converted from big brother and they seem to work fine from the bb-hosts file, but they don't operate from the include file.  Here's an example of a line that works in the bb-hosts but not in the include:

 
192.168.1.1    Hostname_of_Box # snmp chassis ntsvcs ipedge clustat drivechk pcanywhere strmstat snapchk verchk filesizes driveerrors

 
The only thing I would get is conn info and trends.

 
Anyone encounter this before?  

 
Thanks,

Ben Boulanger

Maybe you should modify your scripts so they use "bbhostgrep" utility
(in bin/) instead of directly grepping the bb-hosts file.

Wow... I'm incredibly stupid for not realizing that!  I get it.  Thank you Charles.  Of course, I'm parsing the file which has nothing in it.  Please delete all emails from me on this subject so that I can hide my shame.
