NAME File::Edit - A naive, probably buggy, file editor. SYNOPSIS use File::Edit; # Replace string in file File::Edit->new('build.gradle') ->replace('minSdkVersion 16', 'minSdkVersion 21') ->save() ; # Edit text, save to file File::Edit->new() ->text(" minSdkVersion 16\n targetSdkVersion 29") ->replace('minSdkVersion 16', 'minSdkVersion 21') ->save('build.gradle') ; # Swap lines, save to file File::Edit->new() ->text(" Do this first\n Now do that\n Don't do this") ->swap('Do this', 'do that') ->save('todo.txt') ; METHODS new my $fe = File::Edit->new("some_file.txt"); Reads in a file for editing. text my $fe = File::Edit->new()->text(some_text); Reads in some text for editing. replace $fe->replace($old, $new); Replace the $old portion of a single line with $new. save my $fe = File::Edit->new("some_file.txt"); $fe->save(); # Saves to "some_file.txt" $fe->save("other.txt") # Saves to "other.txt" swap( $text_1, $text_2 ) The swap($s1, $s2) method finds the line containing string $s1 and finds the line containg string $s2 and swaps both lines.
