Wiki talk:LocalSettings.php

From Vermont Area Group of Unix Enthusiasts

I run these Emacs search and replacement regular expressions and perform them globally on LocalSettings.php.

 "^\$\(\w+\)\(.*?\)[	 ]*=[	 ]*\(.*\);.*$"
  -> "; [[MW:Manual:$\1|\1]]<nowiki>\2</nowiki>: <nowiki>\3</nowiki>"

 <nowiki></nowiki> -> ""

 @ -> " at "

A more appropriate solution is written as a Perl and Grep pipeline.

 perl -p -e 's"^\$(\w+)(.*?)[	 ]*=[	 ]*(.*);.*$"; [[MW:Manual:\$\1|\1]]<nowiki>\2</nowiki>: <nowiki>\3</nowiki>";' \
      -e 's"<nowiki></nowiki>"";' \
      -e 's/@/ at /g;' \
  | grep -ve 'wg\(DB\(server\|name\|user\|password\)\|ProxyKey\)' \
         -e configdate \
  | grep -vFe '$path' \
  | grep -e '^; '
