Hello,

I think I get the gist of what you're saying. What would be useful though would be if you could:

1. Provide an example entry in its original form
2. Provide a modified copy of that entry as you would want it to look afterwards

If you can provide something like that - an entire entry in the form it exists in the file, and a modified example of how you want it to look after your script has run - that would make things easier and clearer in terms of being able to help you come up with a solution.

mkdb

mkdb(8) 						  GNATS Admininstration Utilities						   mkdb(8)

NAME

       mkdb - create a new GNATS database

SYNOPSIS

       mkdb databasename

DESCRIPTION

       Looks  up  databasename in the GNATS databases file and creates a database in the location specified there.  mkdb creates the directory and
       populates it with a set of default files copied from the /usr/share/gnats/defaults directory.

       Note the implications of this: an entry in databases must be created before mkdb is run.

       The command should be run as the GNATS user, by default gnats.

OPTIONS

       databasename
	      Specifies the name of the database to be created.

SEE ALSO

       Keeping Track: Managing Messages With GNATS (also installed as the GNU Info file gnats.info)
