in fact, I need that in a script that automates installation & configuration of a product.
since there in a bug in one of JavaScript files of the product, the content of one of fuctions should be replaced by something else.
I should install this product several times per month; therefore I'm preparing a script that does all necessary post-installation tasks with minmum manual actions.
