exec has been used to do this since puppet''s early days. You can use
your choice of systems tools (sed, perl, ...)
Then put it into a define, so it can be called on many different file and
multiple times
Some examples:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/1/wiki/simple_text_patterns
https://github.com/puppet-modules/puppet-common/blob/master/manifests/defines/replace.pp
Also found a module for editing files. I just found it and have not used it, so
no idea how well it works

Subject: [Puppet Users] inplace line manipulation
From: emamdouh@cloud9ers.com
To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com
Hi Everybody, I''m searching for a way to manipulate file lines using
patterns i.e. existing patterns is git+ssh://git@github.com/User/Repo.git and i
want to change its occurrence to
git+http://user_name:password@github.com/User/Repo.git
I''ve checked file_line{} resource in puppetlabs stdlib, but actually it
didn''t fit my case
so can any one recommend any other way rather than templating this file
Thanks in advance
