how do you specify only variables?

Intresting problem that! I too had a good read of the man page and a play after that but could not do what you want directly. However, you can change functions cleanly with tops, so if you do it in three stages by shifting functions that correspond to your search to an unused value, do a generic replace and then restore the generic value you get the effect you want. Try this,

change_var.sh:

#!/bin/sh
#
echo "changing variables $1 to $2 in file $3"

tops replacemethod "$1" with "CHANGE_VAR_TEMPORARY" $3
tops replace "$1" with "$2" $3
tops replacemethod "CHANGE_VAR_TEMPORARY" with "$1" $3

hiyer Adrian,

yes thanks for that. i thought of doing some swapping jiggery like you've done to get it done but didn't try it as i thought i was missing a direct, easier way.

there aren't many references to tops on the internet that i can find. here's one though <http://groups.google.com/groups?q=isOneOf+tops&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF- 8&oe=UTF- 8&selm=y0m76.115000%email@hidden&rnum=1> could be helpful. in any case, i'll keep messing with it.

thanks, ben.
