In this article, we are going to learn about the usage and functionality of the EditLine plugin written by KVC. This plugin allows you to edit and insert a text line in a file without opening them and overriding the entire content. You can download this plugin from our GitHub. This plugin is an improved and combined version of ReplaceLine/StrSurr utilities. Both of those were created by Kvc as well.

Example: To Edit a line

call EditLine designmap2.xml 2 "product=" ")" "6.0(31)"

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.

Input: "<?aid style="50" featureSet="257" product="16.3(24)" ?>"

Output: "<?aid style="50" featureSet="257" product="6.0(31)" ?>"

Example: 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.

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.
