miniature-eureka

This tool finds two set strings in a file and replaces every line between them with the contents of another file.

Usage

miniature-eureka path/to/source path/to/destination --start "SECTION-REPLACE-START" --end "SECTION-REPLACE-END"

Or if you want to search for those specific strings

miniature-eureka path/to/source path/to/destination

If you want to be extra explicit / don't want to provide the arguments in order

miniature-eureka --src path/to/source --dst path/to/destination --start "SECTION-REPLACE-START" --end "SECTION-REPLACE-END"

The arguments are as follows:

• Source File
  • --src
  • --source
  • The first free standing argument found
• Destination File
  • --dst
  • --dest
  • --destination
  • The second free standing argument found
• Start replacing marker
  • --start
  • --start-marker
• End replacing marker
  • --end
  • --end-marker

The tool also accepts -h and --help

To Dos

• Perhaps allowing to specify the src / dest file as stdin would be nice
• Optimization, currently everything is read into a string, I'm sure there is some way to instead replace in place
