Package: xmlstarlet Version: 1.0.1-2 Severity: wishlist GNU sed has an --in-place option so that I can do something like
sed -rsi s/foo/bar/ *.txt But xmlstarlet doesn't, so instead I have to use a loop: for i in *.html do xmlstarlet ed ... $i >$i~ && mv $i~ $i done It would be nice if, like sed and ed, xmlstarlet could do this little bit of file writing and moving internally. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xmlstarlet depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5 GNOME XML library ii libxslt1.1 1.1.24-2 XSLT processing library - runtime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime xmlstarlet recommends no packages. xmlstarlet suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
