I am far from a sed expert, but thought sed was basically the same everywhere. Hmmm.... I guess not... Dare I even mention M4???? > own flavour.

One way would be to take a file with a list of options, eg. --- cut --- organisation: My organisation country: AU xyz: ssss --- cut --- That turns a file like this: --- cut --- My country is #country# and I work for #organisation#. --- cut --- into --- cut --- My country is AU and I work for My organisation. --- cut --- Is this all thats required, or is some extra intelligence needed? If so, it should be easy to create additional variables automatically based on the ones given ones. It would also be possible to add sanity checking of the values, too. Also note that I have not used @country@, to make it clear that these variable substitutions do not happen at configure time. The configure stuff is still useful (IMHO) for setting up fixed items, like directory names. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ OpenCA-Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openca-devel
