folks ... Can someone recommend a command tool which would make changes to a NAMES file? In particular, I'm looking for something that would "safely" edit the NAMES file much like NAMES EXEC does, preserving comments and nifty things like that, but without getting into fullscreen.
An example might be ... namefind :tag1 val1 :tag2 val2 :tag3 :tag4 which we all know and love, search on two tags and recover two others, compared with namechange :tag1 val1 :tag2 val2 / :tag3 newval3 :tag4 newval4 where "/" is some special flag indicating that following tags are to be changed rather than used for search, search on two tags and modify two others. In the case of searching, NAMEFIND looks for tags which have the values indicated, and then reports tags which have no value supplied. The difference between search and report is clear. But for an editor, there has to be some kind of mark, "the following are changed, not searched". This is just one way to do it. I'm looking for anything already built so that we don't re-invent that wheel. Thanks! -- R;
