And that (empty before editing) would be the easiest way that this could converge. I suppose you could also delete lines matching the common key, using a delete_select to exclude lines matching the "good" lines - and follow that with the above insert lines. But that'd be harder, and require a list consisting of the regexp escaped versions of each candidate line (probably replacing the "1" in my earlier array and using a getvalues call). :) _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
