 |
|
The file looks like this (actually it's a lot longer):
| Code: |
[Look]
AlignUserboxIconsTop=false
ChatBgColor=#ffffff
ChatContents=
[Network]
AllowDCC=false
DccForwarding=false
DccIP=1.1.0.1
DccIpDetect=false
DefaultPort=8074
[Notify]
ConnError_Hints=false
ConnError_Sound=true
NewChat_Hints=false
|
I'm trying to write a bash script that would set the DccIP property in the Network section
What I want is:
DccIP=$MYIP
where MYIP is a variable that has been set.
Is there an easy way to do that?

Will sed work?
| Code: | | sed -i -e "/DccIP=/s/=.*/=$MYIP/" file.txt |

sed is great, thanks Maedhros.. I understand it doesn't check the section, and only looks for DccIP, but in this case that's good enough for me
