EditLine - by Kvc

Description

This program allows to Edit & Insert a text on a line in a text file... without replacing the entire content. This is an improved & Combined version of ReplaceLine & StrSurr utilities both of them were created by Kvc as well.

I needed a tool, when I was working on a Fiverr project, and I couldn't find a simple solution. So, I created my own solution. I hope this will help you in your project too.

Usage

Call EditLine [File] [LineNumber] [Marker 1] [Marker 2] [Text]

Where:

• ver : Displays version of program

• File : Name of the Text File
• LineNumber : Line to Edit/Trim/Modify

The above command will edit the 2nd line from the designmap2.xml file, and replace the text between the markers with the text "6.0(31)". You can use this utility to edit a line in a file, and also to insert a line.

In this example, we will be inserting a line in the file named example.txt. The content of the files is shown in the picture below.

The file to be edited

editline example.txt 1 "editline" "." "A plugin created by KVC"

The above code will insert the line "A plugin created by KVC" between marker1("editline") and marker2(".") in the manner shown below.
