Hi folks,
Is there a binary equivalent to the diff/patch combination? I've written a little shell script to run "cmp -b" over a bunch of files (I'm trying to generate binary patches), but now I'm struggling with a way to actually apply those changes.
I started writing a little tcl script to do it but think there must be a better way?
Thanks, John
Umm, "vim -b"? vim *can* be used as a stream editor... Igor
Ah yes excellent! Even better, now I don't need to create a patch file. In a single line I can hack Xilinx's Xygwin tools over to Cygwin.
I'm doing the following
for f in $( find edk -name '*.exe' -o -name '*.dll' ) do vim -b -s xyg2cyg.sed $f done
where xyg2cyg.sed contains :%s/xygwin1.dll/cygwin1.dll/g :wq
Is there a way I can pass these on the command line, without needing a seperate little script file like this?
Thanks,
John
