Pattern match and replace indirect directory reference using sed
Hi,

I need a ksh script to replace indirect directory references in an .ini file with a env variable using sed or awk.

The .ini file is for example as such:

Code:
A=..
B=../
C=../..
D=../../
E=../bin
F=../../bin
G=../../bin/xml
H=../../bin/xml/

Need to replace an instance of .. or ../.. with %HOME%

so

Code:
A=%HOME%
B=%HOME%/
C=%HOME%
D=%HOME%/
E=%HOME%/bin
F=%HOME%/bin
G=%HOME%/bin/xml
H=%HOME%/bin/xml/

IVMAN(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  IVMAN(8)

NAME

       ivman - volume manager

SYNOPSIS

       ivman [ -sd ] [ --nofork ] [ -c <directory> ]

DESCRIPTION

       Ivman,  or  Ikke's Volume Manager, is a daemon to handle the mounting of media as they are inserted/attached to the system.  It can also be
       used to execute arbitrary commands when a device with certain properties is added to the system (Windows autoplay style functionality), and
       to execute arbitrary commands when device properties change.  Ivman uses HAL to monitor the state of your system's hardware.

OPTIONS

       -s or --system
	      Start Ivman in system-wide mode.	This is the default if running Ivman as root.  When this option is specified, Ivman reads from the
	      system-wide configuration directory ( usually /etc/ivman/ ); if this option is  not  specified,  Ivman  reads  from  ${HOME}/.ivman/
	      instead.	 Either of these locations may be overridden with the -c option.  Other behaviour may differ slightly when running in sys-
	      tem-wide mode.  Don't use this option unless you know you need it.

       --nofork
	      Force Ivman not to daemonize, regardless of settings in IvmConfigBase.xml.  Useful for capturing debugging output.

       -d or --debug
	      Force Ivman to give debugging output, regardless of settings in IvmConfigBase.xml.

       -c <directory> or --confdir <directory>
	      Force Ivman to load configuration files from the specified directory.

DETAILS

       Ivman is a flexible device manager, allowing users to run arbitrary commands when devices are added/removed, when device properties change,
       and when devices emit conditions.

       For  automount  purposes,  Ivman  should  be  run  once	from  a  system-wide init script and once per user session (e.g., create a link to
       /usr/bin/ivman in  ~/.kde/Autostart or put an entry for /usr/bin/ivman in gnome-session-manager).  When a device is  attached,  Ivman  will
       call pmount or mount to mount the device.  If pmount is used, it will mount the device readable and writeable only for the current user; if
       no per-user instance of Ivman is running, the device will be mounted read/write for everyone in the same group as is required  to  use  the
       pmount  command, and read-only for everyone else.  If regular mount is used, then an fstab entry must exist in /etc/fstab for the device to
       be mounted, and the settings given in that fstab entry will be used for the mount.

       Ivman is supplied with sensible default configuration files for volume management, but autoplay functionality has no default  actions;  you
       will  need  to  edit ${HOME}/.ivman/IvmConfigActions.xml(5) or /etc/ivman/IvmConfigActions.xml(5) to specify some programs to execute.  The
       syntax of this file and the other Ivman configuration files are specified in their own manpages.

FILES

       /etc/ivman/IvmConfigActions.xml
	      actions to perform when media is inserted

       /etc/ivman/IvmConfigBase.xml
	      options affecting the running of Ivman

       /etc/ivman/IvmConfigConditions.xml
	      actions to perform when devices emit conditions

       /etc/ivman/IvmConfigProperties.xml
	      actions to perform when device properties change

SEE ALSO

       IvmConfigActions.xml(5), IvmConfigBase.xml(5), IvmConfigConditions.xml(5), IvmConfigProperties.xml(5)

BUGS

       Hopefully, none :-)  But there could be some still lurking.  If you encounter a bug, please forward details to rohan.pm@gmail.com or add it
       to the bug tracker at the project's Sourceforge page, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ivman
