Tools to modify a configuration file
Hy everybody !
Do any body know a tool to modify a KDE configuration file ?
For example, I want to modify the kdeglobals file to personalise by adding or deleting a entries in the [KFileDialog Speedfbar] group.
Maybe I could do something cat | grep | cat > file.tmp .....| ..... | ...
But I'm pretty sure there's a better way to do that...
Tank you !
RE: Tools to modify a configuration file
I think you're looking for this:
http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kconfigeditor/
However, this tool is not under development at the moment, so it might not work. You should give it a try.

RE: Tools to modify a configuration file
Yes I saw this software and I tried it but it doesn't work. I don't want something graphic like Kiosk or kconfigeditor...
I want something can work from a script. For example, be able to delete a group in a file like kdeglobals...
RE: Tools to modify a configuration file
AFAIK, there's no specific tool for that. Or you write your own Bash script, or you use vi/nano/joe/whatever.

You must be right... I think I will use thing like awk....
kwriteconfig and kreadconfig for writing or reading. No deleting though
