[mapserver-dev] 5.4 Release Tomorrow?

[thomas bonfort]

Flavio,
this can be scripted. here's an example script that seems to work,
although I wouldn't run it on a real filesystem without backing it up
beforehand:

#!/bin/bash

file=$1

grep -qi '^[[:space:]]*MAP[[:space:]]*$' "$file"
present=$?

if [[ $present -ne 0 ]]; then
    sed -i '1i MAP' "$file"
    echo END >> "$file"
    echo "added MAP...END to $file"
fi


save this as fixmapfile.sh, and run

find /path/to/where/my/mapfiles/are -name '*.map' -exec ./fixmapfile.sh {} \;

I repeat, backup before trying, or at least cross your fingers ;)

regards,
thomas
