EditLine - by Kvc

Description

This program allows to Edit & Insert a text on a line in a text file... without replacing the entire content. This is an improved & Combined version of ReplaceLine & StrSurr utilities both of them were created by Kvc as well.

I needed a tool, when I was working on a Fiverr project, and I couldn't find a simple solution. So, I created my own solution. I hope this will help you in your project too.

Author: Kvc

Usage

Call EditLine [File] [LineNumber] [Marker 1] [Marker 2] [Text]

Where:

  • ver : Displays version of program
  • /? : Displays help for the program
  • File : Name of the Text File
  • LineNumber : Line to Edit/Trim/Modify
  • Marker 1 : Text From where, to start the edit
  • Marker 2 : Text From where, to end the edit
  • Text : Text to be inserted

Example: call EditLine designmap2.xml 2 "product=" ")" "6.0(31)"

The above command will edit the 2nd line from the designmap2.xml file, and replace the text between the markers with the text "6.0(31)". You can use this utility to edit a line in a file, and also to insert a line.

Input: "<?aid style="50" featureSet="257" product="16.3(24)" ?>" Output: "<?aid style="50" featureSet="257" product="6.0(31)" ?>"

Example: To Insert a Line

In this example, we will be inserting a line in the file named example.txt. The content of the files is shown in the picture below.

The file to be edited
editline example.txt 1 "editline" "." "A plugin created by KVC"

The above code will insert the line "A plugin created by KVC" between marker1("editline") and marker2(".") in the manner shown below.
