exec has been used to do this since puppet's early days. You can use your choice of systems tools (sed, perl, ...) Then put it into a define, so it can be called on many different file and multiple times
Some examples: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/simple_text_patterns https://github.com/puppet-modules/puppet-common/blob/master/manifests/defines/replace.pp Also found a module for editing files. I just found it and have not used it, so no idea how well it works https://github.com/mstrauss/puppet-editfile Steven Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2013 23:55:50 +0200 Subject: [Puppet Users] inplace line manipulation From: emamd...@cloud9ers.com To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com Hi Everybody, I'm searching for a way to manipulate file lines using patterns i.e. existing patterns is git+ssh://g...@github.com/User/Repo.git and i want to change its occurrence to git+http://user_name:passw...@github.com/User/Repo.git I've checked file_line{} resource in puppetlabs stdlib, but actually it didn't fit my case so can any one recommend any other way rather than templating this file Thanks in advance -- Best Regards, Eslam Mamdouh El Husseiny Systems Administrator Cloud Niners Ltd.
