Examples

Print to stdout (--dry-run) the replacement of all occurences found in data.xml with values from the section [production] within values.ini, delimiters are always assumed to be <%= and %> unless otherwise specified:

./ctrshif.py --section=production --values=values.ini --template=data.xml --dry-run

Replace (write to file) all occurences found in each file (separeted by line) from list_of_files.txt with values from section [production] within values.ini:

./ctrshif.py --section=production --values=values.ini --template-list=list_of_files.txt

Replace (write to file) all occurences found in users.json with values from section [acceptance] within values.ini surrounded by the delimiters {{ and }}:

./ctrshif.py --section=acceptance --values=values.ini --template=users.json --prefix-delimiter="{{" --suffix-delimiter="}}"

Replace (write to file) all occurences found in script.sh with values from section [default] within bash.ini, without delimiters (word replacement):

./ctrshif.py --section=default --values=bash.ini --template=script.sh --no-delimiters

Values file

The values file follow .ini format, and needs at least one section defined between brackets, ex: [section].
