Good morning to list, Let me at first get context. I am using augeas ruby bindings to do some automatic changes in configuration files. I build some tools around allowing easier access to augeas, but I have now one challenge.
In general I have set of modifications, additional entries and removed entries. My challenge is that path is not stable, so when new entry is added or removed from array like #comment, then it changes path of other items in array. So consider this scenario. I need to modify two comments, remove two comments and add comment before another comment. The first part is easy and I use set. The second part I already solved as I know original path and do it in reverse order so e.g. remove #comment[50] and #comment[36]. Then I want to add new #comment before original #comment[10] but it is no longer #comment[10] and I also do not know what will be number of new comment ( ok, in this case I know it is path of comment I inserted before, but sometimes I need to add it before another key like "inst #comment before $prefix/alias[5]" then is there easy way how to get path of newly inserted label? like $prefix/#comment[16] ? Also is there way how to get what is old path? Value is not unique, especially in comments and I find manually counting and changing all indexes quite complex. Thanks for help and tips.
