Search and replace with sed
- by Binoy Babu
Last week I accidently externalized all my strings of my eclipse project. I need to revert this and my only hope is sed. I tried to create scripts but failed pathetically because I'm new with sed and this would be a very complicated operation. What I need to do is this:
Strings in class.java file is currently in the following format(method) Messages.getString(<key>). Example :
if (new File(DataSource.DEFAULT_VS_PATH).exists()) {
for (int i = 1; i <= c; i++) {
if (!new File(DataSource.DEFAULT_VS_PATH
+ Messages.getString("VSDataSource.89") + i).exists()) { //$NON-NLS-1$
getnewvfspath = DataSource.DEFAULT_VS_PATH
+ Messages.getString("VSDataSource.90") + i; //$NON-NLS-1$
break;
}
}
}
The key and matching Strings are in messages.properties file in the following format.
VSDataSource.92=No of rows in db =
VSDataSource.93=Verifying db entry :
VSDataSource.94=DB is open
VSDataSource.95=DB is closed
VSDataSource.96=Invalid db entry for
VSDataSource.97=\ removed.
So I need the java file back in this format:
if (new File(DataSource.DEFAULT_VS_PATH).exists()) {
for (int i = 1; i <= c; i++) {
if (!new File(DataSource.DEFAULT_VS_PATH
+ "String 2" + i).exists()) { //$NON-NLS-1$
getnewvfspath = DataSource.DEFAULT_VS_PATH
+ "String 1" + i; //$NON-NLS-1$
break;
}
}
}
How can I accomplish this with sed? Or is there an easier way?
