Just tried with this code and a different start/ending delim.
Outcome is identical, everything between the selected region gets deleted and
replaced but everything past the end delim in the file gets deleted to EOF.
It's as if the end of the select region is simply being ignored.
bundle agent test
{
files:
testhost::
"/tmp/test_dest.txt"
comment => "Test, insert stuff into selected region of
file",
edit_line => insert_between_region('## CF3 DO NOT EDIT
START ##','## CF3 DO NOT EDIT END ##','/tmp/test_insert.txt');
}
# Replace everything between start and end delimiters with our data
bundle edit_line insert_between_region(sdelim, edelim, insert_file)
{
delete_lines:
".*"
select_region => start_end('${sdelim}','${edelim}'),
delete_select => example('${sdelim}','${edelim}');
insert_lines:
"${insert_file}"
select_region => start_end('${sdelim}','${edelim}'),
insert_type => 'file';
}
body delete_select example(s,e)
{
delete_if_not_match_from_list => { $(s), $(e) };
#delete_if_not_contains_from_list => { $(s), $(e) };
}
body select_region start_end(start,end)
{
select_start => "$(start)";
select_end => "$(end)";
include_start_delimiter => "false";
include_end_delimiter => "false";
}
