Hi,
I have a file with about 60 lines of path:
app-defaults/boxXYZ.......
I want to change this to /my/path/goes/here/app-defaults/boxXYZ, but of course vi doesn't like the regualr :s/old/new/ command.
Is there any other quick way to do this?
Thanks ;) (2 Replies)

path2listing
PATH2LISTING(1) General Commands Manual PATH2LISTING(1)
NAME
path2listing - script facilitating the conversion to managing gconf configuration sources with desktop-profiles
SYNOPSIS
path2listing [options]
DESCRIPTION
This script takes a single gconf path file (the systemwide one, i.e. /etc/gconf/2/path, when not told otherwise) and reads through it in
order to create an ordered list of known configuration sources (it will recurse into included path files when necessary). Using that
ordered list it will then create a desktop-profiles_path2listing.listing file containing metadata for all known configuration sources,
assigning a precedence value to each encountered configuration source so that:
a) the order of sources is the same
b) there is space between the precedence values of the various sources to allow for inclusion of additional profiles in the future.
c) all mandatory sources have a positive precedence value, and all non-mandatory sources have a negative precedence value
In addition to generating the desktop-profiles_path2listing.listing file, this script will also replace the converted path file by one that
assumes that desktop-profiles manages all configuration sources (NOTE: a backup copy of all changed files is made, so you can always go
back to the previous situation).
OPTIONS
-d,--distance
distance between the precedence values of each successive pair of configuration sources (defaults to 50), the idea being that you
leave some space to insert future sources.
-f, --file
path file to convert (defaults to /etc/gconf/2/path)
-h, --help
display the help message
-o, --output-file
file to put the generated metadata in (defaults to /etc/desktop-profiles/desktop-profiles_path2listing.listing). If this file exists
a backup copy will be made prior to overwriting it.
--no-replace-file
don't replace the path file we're converted with one assuming desktop-profiles manages activation
FILES
/etc/gconf/2/path - systemwide gconf path file, default path file to convert
/etc/desktop-profiles/desktop-profiles_path2listing.listing - default name for the file containing the generated metadata
