To Replace a line in a file
Hi Folks,

I am trying to replace large string(jdbc url) in a property file. I have many such property files in subfolders where i need to replace jdbc url. Below is the code that i have tried but it does not work.
Need your suggestions for the same.

.property file will have value like below.
Code:
JDBC_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=stora.com)(PORT=1521))(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=STYU)(FAILOVER_MODE=
(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC)(RETRIES=180)(DELAY=5))))"
 
INSTALL_ID=KTJUM


change.sh is the file where i am writing below code:


Code:
NEW="(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=stem.com)(PORT=1521))(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=uyet)(FAILOVER_MODE=
(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC)(RETRIES=180)(DELAY=5))))"
 
 
for file in `find . -name *.properties`
do 
cat $file |grep -iw "JDBC_URL"|cut -d '@' -f2|read OLD
echo "perl -i -p -e 's/$OLD/$NEW/g' $file" |sh
done

OLD variable contains below string from file:
Code:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=stora.com)(PORT=1521))(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=STYU)(FAILOVER_MODE=
(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC)(RETRIES=180)(DELAY=5))))"

When i do this, the OLD string is not getting replaced with new String. But when i do the same thing for other line in file like install_id, the perl command works.

Please suggest what i am missing in the code and how better i can work.


PS: there is no underline for delimiter @ but i dont why i am getting here in the above i tried undoing the underline but it isnot working. Please ignore the underline.

Does your find command give any output (-name *.properties while the file extension seems to be property)?

Code:
perl -i -pe '$new="(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=stem.com)(PORT=1521))(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=uyet)(FAILOVER_MODE=(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC)(RETRIES=180)(DELAY=15))))";s/(JDBC_URL=.+?)\@(.*)/$1\@$new\"/;' filename
