Search and Replace

**chevyn8** · 04-09-2008, 09:39 AM

Just a simple search and replace. Was developed for button changing...found a better way to do that...so I modified the code to do a universal search and replace within a file. This script is a byproduct of a different script. Someone may find it useful:

The original idea is that you can change anything in an INC file, without messing with the rest of the file. A skin could have one INC file, something like settings.txt, with all the settings in it, and make changes to a single item. Works like this:
Start the script run;path to sr.exe
Setvar's SROLD SRNEW SRFILETOEDIT SRTEXTORLINE
Script will then edit the file
SRTEXTORLINE:
TEXT will search for specific text and replace just that text.
search for /DEFINE fontsizemk1 "18" , replace with /DEFINE fontsizemk1 "22"

LINE will search for specific text and replace the whole line.
search for fontsizemk1, replace with /DEFINE fontsizemk1 "22"--better because you may not know the old font size or whatever value you are replacing.

This will also work on .skin files... you could replace an INC line to include a different file to change the look of a skin.

It seems just what I was looking for!!!
..is it possible to use it to change some line in skin.ini without changing the others too?
...or does it work just with INC .txt file?

Edited--------
I jumped the line:

This will also work on .skin files... you could replace an INC line to include a different file to change the look of a skin.

how can I do if I want to search and replace a string like this:
B20[HL],[/HL]120[HL],[/HL]100[HL],[/HL]315[HL],[/HL]70[HL],[/HL]"SKIN"[HL],[/HL]"skin browser"

I found an old post from guino on the comma issue..... define comma in skin.ini:
cm=,
Then use $cm$ in place of the comma.
Example from MKIII exectbl.ini (not in that skin, just the version I have)
"MENURED","RUN;$skinpath$\sr.exe||setvar;srold;men u_OFF||setvar;srnew;menu_OFFred.png$CM$menu_OFFred .png$CM$menu_On.png$CM$menu_OFFred.png||setvar;srf iletoedit;menu.skin||setvar;srtextorline;line||wai t;2||reloadskin"

It changes the images the skin uses
skin.ini contains cm=,

If B20 is unique to that line, you should be able to search for B20 and replace with your line.

looking for a little help please.

i have this working via useing OSK to define the changes. but i can not get it to write
|| it will only write whats before it, not the || and whats after it.

i open OSK type SILABS||Silabs, ENTER , Script runs, Result = SILABS

any ideas guys, i did try $CM$=|| in the skin.ini but that did'nt work,may have that bit wrong in the code below,

1st code without $CM$

"NEWBUTTONIS"," ||OSKTOCMD;NEWBUTTON;ADDBUTTON"
"ADDBUTTON","RUN;$skinpath$\sr.exe||setvar;srold;$ REPLACE$||setvar;srnew;$NEWBUTTON$||setvar;srfilet oedit;buttonlist.txt||setvar;srtextorline;line||AD DTOFILE;$SKINPATH$buttonlist.txt;=$REPLACE$"

2nd code with $CM$

"NEWBUTTONIS"," ||OSKTOCMD;NEWBUTTON;ADDBUTTON"
"ADDBUTTON","RUN;$skinpath$\sr.exe||setvar;srold;$ REPLACE$||setvar;srnew;$NEWBUTTON$$CM$$NEWBUTTON$| |setvar;srfiletoedit;buttonlist.txt||setvar;srtext orline;line||ADDTOFILE;$SKINPATH$buttonlist.txt;=$ REPLACE$"

Thanks
