Use a text editor. Unless, that is, you need to automate the process. In which case, the correct approach depends upon exactly why and how you need to do this. Whatever the reason, ad-hoc sed scripts to modify config files probably isn't the right approach. One option is to create a patch (with "diff") which you can apply with "patch". Use -C or -U with a suitable argument so that the patch will apply reliably to any httpd.conf file. -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
