adding a string ~300 times

[gavino]

I have a dns config file named.conf I need to reconfigure to enable a
slave dns server.

It involves making

zone "pims.teampcs.com" {
type slave;
file
"internal/pcs/master/pims.teampcs.com.zone.internal.bak";
};


look like

zone "pims.teampcs.com" {
type slave;
file
"internal/pcs/master/pims.teampcs.com.zone.internal.bak";
masters { 172.16.100.11; };
};

I don't know how to do this in vi since it involves adding a string on
a new line below each occourance of .bak";

how would a perler add that line below each instance of .bak"; ?

:1,$s/\(internal.bak.*$\)/\1^V^M masters { 172.16.100.11; }; ^V^M

how would a perler add that line below each instance of .bak"; ?

Read in the file and after each line containing 'internal.bak add
the required additional line to the output.

How would I run that perl code if the file is called
named.conf.testing?
Is that a tab in the middle of the code?
also internal.bak is not unique, there is also external.bak so I guess
I change it to

:1,$s/\(internal.bak.*$\)/\1^V^M masters { 172.16.100.11; }; ^V^M

 

[gavino]

substitute added_line for the new line?
if the file to be changed is called named.conf.testing how would the
command look?

That was a vi method of doing it

I left in spaces from your original example... not that they matter,
but did accidentally add a newline... not that that matters either.

I dont understand this response?
That should be run in vi?

Next time if you wonder about something in a technical group, don't do it
aloud (might make you look silly), but enter it in Google, e.g.

It works also very well for some errors or warnings you might get when
using software.
