=head1 NAME
resub -- applies regex substitutions on selected files
=head1 SYNOPSIS
resub -h (or resub -?) : list supported character encodings and exi
+t
resub [-r enc] [-w enc] [-o .ext] [-s '/old/new/[ise]'] [-f regex.li
+st] file.name[s]
cat filename.list | resub [options] stdin (or resub [options] - )
=head1 SAMPLE USAGE
grep -l badword *.txt | resub -s '/badword/good word/' - # fix a s
+pelling error
resub -f edit.list *.txt # fix lots of things at once
resub -s /Bill/George/ -o .updated crank.letter
# keeps crank.letter, creates crank.letter.updated
=head1 DESCRIPTION
When a particular string replacement (or set of replacements) needs to
be applied to one or more files, resub makes it possible to apply all
the replacements with a single command line. The specification of the
editing to be done can be provided as one or more "-s /old/new/"
options on the command line, and/or listed in a separate text file
whose name is given with the "-f" option. Both "-s" and "-f" edit
specs can be used in combination. All edits will be applied globally
to the content of each text file, in the order given.
Resub requires Perl 5.8.0 or later, in order to use the Encode module
and the internal Unicode representation of characters. Data files and
edit.list files can use any character encoding supported by Encode
(the complete list of supported character sets is listed with the "-h"
option). Also, the edited data can be written in any encoding (so
character code conversion is simple). The default encoding for
reading and writing text is "utf8" (which means that plain ASCII text
will be treated correctly during default operation). Alternate
encodings for input or output can be selected with the "-r" and "-w"
options, respectively. Any regex-list file(s) given with the "-f"
option must use the same encoding as the input text file(s).
Specify regex instructions just as you would in Perl, using curly
braces ( {pattern}{replacement} ) or an arbitrary delimiter character
(/p/r/, %p%r%, etc). The "i", "e" and "s" flags can be added after
the final delimiter. Note that the "g" flag is always attached to the
expression before applying it to the data, to do global replacements.
When placing regex instructions in a file for use with "-f", put one
regex per line (they will be applied in top-down order).
Names (or wildcard) for one or more files to edit can be given on the
command line; or, instead of given any file name as a command line
arg, use "-" or "stdin", and resub will expect to read a list of file
names from STDIN.
By default, resub will first create a temporary file to hold the
edited version of each text file, then (if there are no errors) it
will rename the temporary to the original file name, so that the
original file content is overwritten. You can preserve the original
file(s) by using the "-o .ext" option: in this case, whatever string
follows "-o" will be appended to each original input file name, and
the resulting name will be used to receive the edited data.
=head1 CHARACTER ENCODING ISSUES
If "-r" is used to specify a given encoding for the input text
file(s), resub will use Encode to convert the data, including
regex-list files, if any, to unicode. Whether the input data is
already utf8 or some other encoding, it is possible that a data file
or regex-list may contain byte sequences that are invalid or undefined
for the selected input encoding. When reading a regex-list file,
resub will report and skip any single regex that contains bad
character data (but other regexes will be used). When reading from a
text file, encountering bad character data will cause the editing of
that file to be aborted, and the original file will remain unaltered,
and resub will report the problem (but then go on to edit other files,
if any).
If some non-unicode encoding has been selected for output with the
"-w" option, resub will convert the data accordingly. Again, it is
possible that the data may contain characters that cannot be
represented in the character set chosen for output. As with input,
the editing of the file is aborted, and the original file remains
unaltered, the problem is reported (and other files, if any, are
handled).
