repo_bulkedit: Edit all items info using a text file.

In franapoli/repo: A Data-Centered Data Flow Manager

Description

Edit all items info using a text file.

Usage

repo_bulkedit(outfile = NULL, infile = NULL)

Arguments

outfile	Name of a file to put entries data to.
infile	Name of a file to read entries data from.

Details

Exactly one of outfile or infile must be supplied. All repository entry fields are copied to a tab-separated file when using the outfile parameter. All repo entries are updated reading from infile when the infile parameter is used. Within the TAGS field, tags must be comma-separated. The system writes a checksum to the outfile that prevents from using it as infile if repo has changed in the meantime.

Value

Used for side effects.
