Re: LocateLineMatching madness

[rader]

Mark: my ReplaceFirst enhancement (sent 21 March) got lost.
I suspose you want new patches against the latest nightly
tarball?

All: I think "ReplaceFirst" will do what you're after...

 ReplaceFirst "URI.*" With "URI ldap://localhost/";

If anyone is interested in a patch for it, let me know.
