Is it possible in vim to do the following:
Search for this block of data:
# Catalog Service 2.0 for uat03 <LocationMatch "^/Services/?"> PathPrepend /inquiryservices Cluster 172.21.1.1:999 </LocationMatch>And change Cluster 172.21.1.1:9999 to Cluster 172.21.1.2:7000
It needs to have uat03 (or 02, 01) on the line and this line 'PathPrepend /inquiryservices' for the Cluster to be changed.
Yes. Embed following into a file, have cursor above any blocks you want changed, and source this:
let uat= search('^\s*#\s*Catalog.*uat0[123]$','W') if uat if getline(uat+1) =~ '<LocationMatch>' let hasprepend = search('^\s*PathPrepend /inquiryservices','Wn') let lmend = search('^\s*</LocationMatch>','W') if lmend && hasprepend exe uat+1 "," lmend-1 "s/Cluster 172.21.1.1:9999/Cluster 172.21.1.2:7000/e" endif endif endif
That's a one shot change. You could wrap this into a function or map and call it as often as wished.
I suggest asking vim questions on the vim mailing list, BTW. See http://vim.sourceforge.net/community.php . You might get a better answer than mine there, too.
