Modifile Description

Modifile is an application to modify the contents of text files, using Perl substitution expressions. Modifile application applies Perl substitution expressions to files, modifying the name and/or the contents of the file and making backup versions of the original file as needed.Modifile project also checks for write permissions before applying any changes, and provides a list of the files that would have been changed, yet did not have write permission.Options:--backup, --nobackup Backup the changed files. The default is --backup. --basenames, --nobasenames Change the base names of the files, that is, foo.txt of the full name /home/jrandom/proj/bar/foo.txt. The default is --basenames. See also the --dirnames option. --confirm Process files interactively, getting user confirmation when the substitutions would result in a change. --contents, --nocontents Change the contents of the files. The default is --contents. --count NUM Stop substitutions after count lines have been modified. --dirnames, --nodirnames Change the directory names of the files, that is, /home/jrandom/proj/bar of the full name /home/jrandom/proj/bar/foo.txt. The default is --dirnames. See also the --basenames option. --execute, --noexecute Whether to change the file names and contents. The default is --execute. --file FILE Read the given file, which contains a list of all expressions to be evaluated, in the format: s/foo/bar/g tr/a-z/A-Z/ # make fooBar into FOO_BAR: s/(+)()/U$1_$2/gBoth spaces and script-style comments (i.e., beginning with '#') are allowed in the substitution file.If the --file option is not used, the substitution expression will be assumed to be the next command-line argument after all options have been processed.--quiet Run with minimal output. --readonly COMMAND If a file is read-only, execute the given command on the file. For example: --readonly "chmod u+w" --readonly "p4 edit" (set status to editable in the Perforce CM system)--verbose Run with debugging output.What's New in This Release:· Fixes an issue in applying substitution only once per file.
