[SOLVED] Edit sources.list from script

[Leppie]

i am trying to enable/disable repositories with a script.
with sed i've been able to find a repo:

sed '/*'"$REPO"'/,/src/ s/^[ #]*//' /etc/apt/sources.list

however, like this it also enables the src repo (even though "src" is set as the stop).
how can i enable a repo (e.g. remove the comment for that repo) without enabling the source repo as well at the same time?

all help much apreicated

did you try without the range pattern?
i.e. omit the ",/src/"

yeah, both with and without the "stop" parameter it enables both the normal and the source repo... this really got me puzzled, especially since i'm no sed/awk expert.

i solved this in a "hackish" way, concatenating the search term and omitting the search range:

sed "/#.*$REPO.*$SRCH/ s/^[ #]*//" /etc/apt/sources.list
