My experience with using file_line (i use it elsewhere) is that it replaces

It looks like what you're trying to do is inline editing of /etc/bashrc,
but still let people poke at it themselves. That's a fragile position to be
in. For example, given your regex solution, what's to stop someone from
doing something like innocently defining their $PS1 iteratively? Something

Well, functions are ordinary on the compiling side. If you can figure

Nice... I solved my probleman using the:
define replace($file, $pattern, $replacement) {
exec { "/usr/bin/perl -pi -e 's/$pattern/$replacement/' '$file'":
onlyif => "/usr/bin/perl -ne 'BEGIN { \$ret = 1; } \$ret = 0 if
/$pattern/ && ! /$replacement/ ; END { exit \$ret; }' '$file'",
}

I know this sounds like a great idea, but decades of experience with puppet
and proceeding tools tell us that editing the content of files i
You might want to check out Augeas. It might be easier to use.
I've seen a simple define that does that, but I can't find it. It had a grep
statement in unless, and used sed to make the change. A much more complicated
example can be found at

I need to replace some text in a file... there is some type, that i can pass
a value and to be replace and the destination file? or anyone here have some
class who does that?
