Hmmm... find . -name \*,v -print0 \| xargs -0 perl -i.bak -pane \ 's,^(date\s+[0-9.]+;\s+author\s+)uid65618;(\s+state\s\S;$),$1miles;$2,g;' Of course, I urge you to ensure that the repository is locked or otherwise not actively being modified when you run the script. I would suggest performing the initial runs of the script on a snapshot of the repository and then doing a comparison of the .bak files with the original versions to ensure everything looks correct. Good luck, -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBtP283x41pRYZE/gRAsXFAJwO9JwHz6EB20+x+uSsZeydwZzgXgCfS2q+ 7JQByY/HSGNFDmdZBn/i3B8= =j5z/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
