Code:
-bash-3.2$ sed 's/^testtest$/123456/g' test.txt
123456
etstetst
testetst
testtttt
etsttest
testtesttest
123456
-bash-3.2$ sed 's/\btesttest\b/123456/g' test.txt
123456
etstetst
testetst
testtttt
etsttest
testtesttest
123456

If may be as part of a line

Eg.

value = testtest
value1 = etstetst
value1 = testetst
value2 = testtttt
value1 = etsttest
value2 = testtesttest
value1 = testtest

Vend::Payment::Getitcard(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Vend::Payment::Getitcard(3pm)

NAME
Vend::Payment::Getitcard - Interchange Getitcard Support SYNOPSIS
&charge=getitcard or [charge gateway=getitcard param1=value1 param2=value2] PREREQUISITES
Digest::SHA Net::SSLeay or LWP::UserAgent and Crypt::SSLeay DESCRIPTION
This module adds support for purchases with prepaid cards issued by Getitcard (http://www.getitcard.com/). The Vend::Payment::Getitcard module implements the getitcard() routine for use with Interchange. It is compatible on a call level with the other Interchange payment modules. To enable this module, place this directive in "interchange.cfg": Require module Vend::Payment::Getitcard This must be in interchange.cfg or a file included from it. Make sure CreditCardAuto is off (default in Interchange demos). The mode can be named anything, but the "gateway" parameter must be set to "getitcard". To make it the default payment gateway for all credit card transactions in a specific catalog, you can set in "catalog.cfg": Variable MV_PAYMENT_MODE getitcard It uses several of the standard settings from Interchange payment. Any time we speak of a setting, it is obtained either first from the tag/call options, then from an Interchange order Route named for the mode, then finally a default global payment variable, For example, the "id" parameter would be specified by: [charge mode=getitcard id=YourGetitcardID] or Route getitcard id YourGetitcardID or Variable MV_PAYMENT_ID YourGetitcardID Required settings are "id". The active settings are: host Your Getitcard payment gateway host. Usually secure.getitcard.com. secure MD5 checksum required for valid transactions. id Store number assigned to your merchant account. transaction The type of transaction to be run. Valid values are: Interchange Getitcard ---------------- ----------------- auth authorize sale authorize + commit (inside authorize step) settle commit void cancel Default is "sale". order_id Getitcard unique transact (transaction number), you receive as authorize result. order_number Interchange unique order_id, sent to Getitcard on all transactions Troubleshooting If nothing works: o Make sure you "Require"d the module in interchange.cfg: Require module Vend::Payment::Getitcard o Check the error logs, both catalog and global. o Make sure you have all the necessary parameters (you can consult getitcard docs). o Make sure you set your payment parameters properly. o Try an order, then put this code in a page: <XMP> [calc] my $string = $Tag->uneval( { ref => $Session->{payment_result} }); $string =~ s/{/{ /; $string =~ s/,/, /g; return $string; [/calc] </XMP> That should show what happened. EXAMPLES
This examples should work if you provide a valid card number, and set variables MV_PAYMENT_ID, MV_PAYMENT_SECRET and MV_PAYMENT_CURRENCY. Sale [calc]$CGI->{mv_credit_card_number}='0123456789123456'[/calc] [charge gateway=getitcard amount=12] Authorize [calc]$CGI->{mv_credit_card_number}='0123456789123456'[/calc] [charge gateway=getitcard transaction=authorize amount=123] Cancel [charge gateway=getitcard transaction=cancel order_id=12345 order_number=123456] Commit [charge gateway=getitcard transaction=commit order_id=12345 order_number=123456] AUTHORS
