This provides a mechanism for removing exact IP and hostname pairs.
The existing search string functionality should continue to function as
it did previously.
The `disable` regular expressions avoid matching against commented lines
by excluding '#' characters at the beginning of the line. However, the
IP portion of the record is at the beginning of non-commented lines, so
in order to match these IPs the `target_regex_ip` needs to have the
search term checked against the beginning of the line. Therefore, the
`[^#]` at the beginning of `target_regex_ip` must be removed to make
`search_term` properly match these IPs.
These variables are used within regular expressions, but as the program
evolves they are not always in constant use. Exporting these variables
silences ShellCheck warnings and makes them available to subshells.
This is an application of the approach to `sed` calls that was included
in 94ca8bf
In order to make editing more precise, `sed` regular expressions only
match exact occurrences of the search string within each entry column.
* master:
Exit with "Not found" message on failed search in `enable`/`disable`
Bump version to 1.5.0
Print confirmation feedback in `add` on success.
Declare and assign separately to avoid masking return values.
Add `brew tap` command to `brew install` in Readme.
In order to make editing more precise, sed regular expressions only
match exact occurrences of the search string within each entry column.
In order to properly handle tab and space separators in a portable
manner, a set of global variables are included that provide strings
of those characters.
The capitalized version of this variable makes it easier to override,
even though this is not technically part of the external API. There is
no known downside of using the capitalized version of the variable.
This addition requires a number of changes including:
- the addition of a new `_join` function
- reformatting of the `add` function to facilitate the longer lines
These comments can be found in the bash-boilerplate project and aren't
necessary here. Since the $DEFAULT_IFS doesn't appear to be used,
either, the $IFS setting can be reduced to a since simple assignment.
