This module will search a file for a line, and ensure that it is present or
|
|
absent.
|
|
|
|
This is primarily useful when you only want to change a single line in a file.
|
|
For other cases, see the copy or template modules.

| name | yes | | The file to modify. |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| regexp | yes | | The regular expression to look for in the file. For state=present, the |
|
|
| | | | pattern to replace. For state=absent, the pattern of the line to |
|
|
| | | | remove. |
|
|
+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| line | maybe | | Required for state=present. The line to insert/replace into the file. Must |
|
|
| | | | match the value given to 'regexp'. |
|

+--------------------+----------+---------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| insertafter | no | EOF | Used with state=present. If specified, the line will be inserted after the |
|
|
| | | | specified regular expression. Two special values are available: BOF for |
|
|
| | | | inserting the line at the beginning of the file, and EOF for inserting the |
|
|
| | | | line at the end of the file. |
