control:
any::
file_content = ( ExecResult(/bin/grep ${host} ${inputfile}) )
editfiles:
any::
{ ${output_file}
AutoCreate
EmptyEntireFilePlease
AppendIfNoSuchLine "${file_content}"
}
This works when you only need to extract one line from the inputfile,
but it should not be that hard to modify it to support multiple lines.
