2012-06-07Add support for a 'match' parameter to file_lineChris Price
This commit adds a new parameter called "match" to the file_line resource type, and support for this new parameter to the corresponding ruby provider. This parameter is optional; file_line should work just as before if you do not specify this parameter... so this change should be backwards-compatible. If you do specify the parameter, it is treated as a regular expression that should be used when looking through the file for a line. This allows you to do things like find a line that begins with a certain prefix (e.g., "foo=.*"), and *replace* the existing line with the line you specify in your "line" parameter. Without this capability, if you already had a line "foo=bar" in your file and your "line" parameter was set to "foo=baz", you'd end up with *both* lines in the final file. In many cases this is undesirable.
2012-02-09implement #11017 - make file_line type ensurablePeter Meier
* Implement a simple destroy method. * Add tests for it * Refactor code, so file is actually read only once. However, due to the nature how provider tests are run, we need to ensure that the file is read before we open it to write it.
2011-08-04(#8792) Rename whole_line type to file_lineJeff McCune
Without this patch the resource whole_line would be included in the stable stdlib module shipping in PE 1.2. Ideally the name will be stable and unchanging in the future. There was quite a bit of concern over whole_line being an unwise name. file_line appears to be the most suitable name and least likely to need another rename in the future.
