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.
