I am using saltstack to managed configuration on my servers. I have a use case where I need to prepend text to the beginning of the file WITHOUT creating a line break.
Currently:
/path/to/file:
file.prepend:
- text:
here is some text to add
This works great ACCEPT for the fact that "here is some text to add" is added on a new line at the top of the file. I need this text to be prepended at the beginning of the file without creating a new line break. I would love to do this with saltstack but I cannot find a solution to this problem anywhere in their documentation.
The text being added on a new line at the beginning of the file creates things to not work as expected. I have found a few examples of how to do this using sed or a bash script but would love to be able to use saltstack to accomplish this.
Has anyone experiences this same problem that can point me in the right direction?
I was able to come up with a solution for this using pattern matching and replacing.
add_text_to_start:
file.replace:
- name: /path/to/the/file
- pattern: text that will always be at the beginning
- repl: here is some text to add text that will always be at the beginning
The text that is at the beginning of the file will always be at the beginning of the file. So by matching the pattern I am able to add text to the beginning of the file without having to add a line break. All the rest of the text that follows the "text that will always be at the beginning of" is untouched and will be in the same place that is was in before the pattern find and replace occurred.

The prompt you're talking about is named PS1, and you can customise its appearance in your .bashrc file.
So edit that file and add something like the following:
PS1="\\u#\\h:\\w"
The next time you log in you should have your new appearance.
PS1="\[\e[1;31m\]\u\[\e[0;15m\]#\\h \\w "
Insert the above code in '~/.bashrc' file, whenever you open a terminal '~/.bashrc' file will be executed hence you get custom prompt.
Tinker with numbers above to get desired colors.
I'm currently trying to build a chat app, using the official markdown package as well as underscore's escape function, and my template contains something like this:
<span class="message-content">
{{#markdown}}{{text}}{{/markdown}}
</span>
When I grab the text from the chat input box, I try to escape any HTML and then add in line breaks. safeText is then inserted into the database and displayed in the above template.
rawText = $("#chat-input-textbox").val();
safeText = _.escape(rawText).replace(/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/g, '\n');
The normal stuff like headings, italics, and bold looks okay. However, there are two major problems:
Code escape issue - With the following input:
<script>alert("test")</script>
```
alert('hello');
```
This is _italics_!
Everything looks fine, except the alert('hello'); has become alert('hello'); instead. The <pre> blocks aren't rendering the escaped characters, which makes sense. But the problem is, the underscore JS escape function escapes everything.
SOLVED: Line break Issue - With the following input:
first
second
third
I get first second third being displayed with no line breaks. I understand this could be a markdown thing. Since I believe you need an empty line between paragraphs to get linebreaks in markdown. But having the above behaviour would be the most ideal, anyone know how to do this?
UPDATE Line break issue has been solved by adding an extra \n to my regex. So now I'm making sure that any line break will be represented with at least two \n characters (i.e. \n\n).
You should check the showdown docs and the wiki article they have on the topic.
The marked npm package, which is used by Telescope removes disallowed-tags. These include <script> of course. As the article I linked to above explains, there's still another problem with this:
<a href='javascript:alert("kidding! Im more the world domination kinda guy. Muhahahah")'>
click me for world peace!
</a>
Which isn't prevented by marked. I'd follow the advice of the author and use a HTML sanitation library. Like OWASP's ESAPI or Caja's html-sanitizer. Both of these project's seem outdated dough. I also found a showdown extension for it called showdown-xss-filter. So my advice is to write your own helper, and use showdown-xss-filter.
I am using robot framework to test a GUI application ,
when I try to run the test case , got an error like
"Element locator with prefix '| id' is not supported " .
But I am using the latest version of selenium2library i.e.2.39.0 .
I will be thankful ,If somebody helps me out regarding the same .
and I have one more query ,i.e. how to click on the contents on GUI when working with robot framework
Thanks in advance
I think the only way you can get such an error message is if you mix two styles of cell separators in your test. For example, you may be mixing tabs and pipes, or multiple spaces and pipes.
Robot determines which format to use on a line-by line basis. First, it looks for a tab anywhere in the line being parsed, and if it finds it, it uses tabs to split the line. If it doesn't find a tab, it checks to see if the line begins with a pipe and space. If so, it uses the pipe for a separator. Failing that, it uses multiple spaces as the separator.
I can reproduce the exact error you are getting by mixing pipes with either a tab or multiple spaces. For example, the following will generate the exact same error you report:
# the next line begins with two spaces
click element | id=treeview_tv_active
Robot will detect the two leading spaces and decide to use spaces to split the line into cells. Thus, the first cell will be "click element" and the second cell will be "| id=treeview_tv_active". Selenium looks for everything before the "=" as the locator type, thus it's using "| id" as the locator, which is invalid and results in the error that you see.
Since you haven't shown us your code it's impossible to say for sure, but my guess is that the line causing the problem begins with a space or tab, or has a tab embedded somewhere else in the line, but later in the same line attempts to use pipes as cell separators.
I have a textpad file that has rows of text. For e.g.
Cat: Meaning - animal. The cat ran up the house
Rat: Meaning- rodent. The rat lives in the borough and feeds on leftovers
Word 3: Description
Word 4: Description
I have many such record in my file. I want to insert a line break at the end of every record for proper presentation. Doing it manually is tedious. Please help if you know an automated process to insert line break.
You can quickly do this by using a feature called "Regular Expressions" to find and add empty lines.
Open up the Find/Replace (Search menu > Replace)
In the "Find what" field, type the following: (^.+$)\n(^.+$)
In the "Replace with" field, type the following: \1\n\n\2
Tick the "Regular expression" checkbox
Click the Replace All button at least twice, but perhaps 3 times, until you get the message Cannot find the Regular Expression
Untick the "Regular expression" checkbox
Close the Replace dialog
Confirm the file is formatted as you are expecting
Save the file.
You can write a simple C# prgram that uses a loop that adds this code after every line :
But first add the namespace using System.Enviorment
Enviorment.NewLine;
If you have any more trouble i'll help with some code to get started
Open up the Find/Replace (Search menu > Replace)
In the "Find what" field, type the following so that the replace occurs at the end of each line: $
In the "Replace with" field, type the following. Note each 'n' represents a <return>. In this instance, I added a return at the end of a SQL statement, the word 'GO' on the next line and another <return>: \n\GO\n
Started with text file containing:
select * from <tablename>
select * from <tablename>
Ended with text file containing:
select * from <tablename
GO
select * from <tablename>
GO
Hope that helps.
from your text it is difficult to understand what you are intending to do. I'll give you some questions. The answers will help others to help you.
Do you really mean textpad as the product from company helios in UK or do you use this word as a general word for a class of tools (like notepad - but there is a general definition AND the tool as part of Windows).
Your file hase line breaks yet. You don't see them, but in the file itself they are present (in Unix systems line feed (hex code 0A) or in the windows world carriage return followed by line feed (hex code 0D 0A)).
Or would you like to publish your text in HTML? So you have to put the necessary tags around each line like paragraph, line break, list item etc.?
I want to create a simple multiline Alert popup
Alert.show("Blah\\nBlah")
shows Blah\nBlah when what I really want is two lines, one Blah each.
If it is anything like most languages, then you only need to have \n to get a new line. having \\n is saying that you actually do want to draw a \ because normally the back slash is used to say you're about to do some thing special.
Try:
Alert.show("Blah\nBlah")
