The element replace allows to specify the replacement string in a search and replace operation.
<search_replace base="/usr/src/mypackage"> <file>runit.sh</file> <find>BINDIR</find> <replace>/bin</replace> </search_replace> |
The equivalent bash script is :
echo Performing substitution in runit.sh cd /usr/src/mypackage cp runit.sh /tmp/foo.$$ sed -e 's/BINDIR/\/bin/' /tmp/foo.$$ > runit.sh |
