| 11210 | bpr | 6 | mean:String manipulation. <p>\ |
| 7 | Under the first syntax, variable substitution is first done on `string'.\ |
||
| 8 | Then all occurences of substring `s1' are replaced by `s2'. <br/>\ |
||
| 9 | When the keyword `internal' is absent, the Linux utility `sed' is called to make the replacements,\ |
||
| 10 | therefore regular expressions are accepted in `s1' and `s2'.\ |
||
| 11 | Please refer to the man page of `sed' for details. </p><p>\ |
||
| 12 | Under the second syntax, `obj' can be `char', `word', `item' or `line'.\ |
||
| 13 | Then the word, item or line identified by `ident' in `string' is replaced\ |
||
| 14 | by `s', after variable substitutions. <br/>\ |
||
| 15 | `ident' can be a string, in this case all objects (words, items or lines) matching `ident' \ |
||
| 16 | will be replaced. It can also be a number (positive or negative integer `n'), preceded\ |
||
| 17 | by the word `number'. In this case the object number `n' will be replaced.\ |
||
| 18 | (In the case where n<0, it is the last -n'th object which is replaced.)\ |
