Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: search and replace help Author: neilhwatson Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,20275,20281#msg-20281
I tried Diego's advice but CF gave me warnings. This is why I was going to the negative lookahead. -> Promised replacement " HISTSIZE=7200" on line " HISTSIZE=7200200" for pattern "HISTSIZE=.*$" is not convergent while editing /tmp/profile.suse Using HISTSIZE=(?!7200).* works but I run into a logic problem. Some profiles have a histsize defined which I want to replace. Others have nothing which which means that I want HISTSIZE appended. The current search and replace promise can be kept if HISTSIZE is correct or even if there is no HISTSIZE at all. This makes it difficult to initiate an append. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list [email protected] https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
