documentation for smart_change.pl
Hi.
I've wrote some documentation for smart_change.pl that I want to add
to the /website/working document.
One option I do not understand yet: -p. Where can this be usefull?
Has someone an example?
Here is my current version for proofreading (Just text, not code):
Update translations, too, if possible.
====================================== (h3)
Some changes are language independent, most notably changes to urls or
embedded perl code. You obviously can do such changes in all
translation without knowning the specific languages.
But since there are so many languages, you will normaly avoid this
work and leave it to the translator even if you could make the change
more quickly then they can. This can be somewhat annoying.
However, to make such changes more easy to apply, you can use the
smart_change.pl script from the webwml cvs root directory.
Usage of smart_change.pl
------------------------ (h4)
Usage: smart_change.pl [options] origfile
Currently only files in /english/ are allowed as origfile. smart_change.pl takes the following arguments:
-s, --substitute=REGEXP
Specify a Perl regexp applied to source files (may be used more than once).
Example: ./smart_change.pl -s "s,http://oldurl/,http://newurl/,g"; english/index.wml
-l, --lang=STRING
Process this language (may be used more than once). If no language is
specified, all avaiable ones are processed.
-n, --no-bump
Do not bump translation-check headers. Normaly, the cvs revision of
origfile is used as reference and in all translated files that are
up-to-date, the translation-check header is updated. In outdated files
it remains unchanged. If this option is specified, no
translation-check headers are touched. See "keeping translations up to
date" for an explanation on translation-check headers.
-p, --previous
Get previous CVS revision.
-h, --help
Display short usage informations.
-v, --verbose
Run verbosely.
