changeLine

Purpose:

Change a string in a line of the PAM Datapoint file in the current directory.

Enter:

changeLine <filename> <old_string> <new_string>

Where:

filename Specify the PAM filename in which to change the string. Wild cards are valid.
old_string Specify the string in the PAM file to change.
new_string Specify the new string to replace the old_string in the PAM file.

Example:

changeLine string1 string 2 MYTESTID.*

The above command changes string1 to string2 in any Pam datapoint file whose name begins with ‘MYTESTID’ in the current directory.  It reads each file and replaces ‘string1’ with ‘string2’.

Notes:

Be sure to ‘cd’ to the directory containing the files to be changed before entering the command.
