actions-find-and-replace-string's Introduction

Find and replace strings

This action executes find-and-replace on a given string (hint: use ${{ github.ref }} to get your branch name and apply this on it for use in another action).

Inputs

`source`

Required The source string to apply this action to

`find`

Required The text you want to search for within the branch name (eg. ref/heads/)

`replace`

Required The text you want to replace (eg. head-, ``, root_)

`replaceAll`

Optional Should replace all occurrences? (only 'true' string will be interpreted positive)

Outputs

`value`

The new value containing the found-and-replaced string.

Example usage

uses: mad9000/actions-find-and-replace-string@5
with:
    source: ${{ github.ref }} # this translates to ref/heads/main on the main branch, but can be any arbitrary string 
    find: 'ref/heads/'        # we want to remove ref/heads/ from source 
    replace: ''               # and replace it with a blank string (ie. removing it)

This will output main.

actions-find-and-replace-string's Issues

Upgrade to Node20

This action still running on node16 - it should be using Node20 to meet the GitHub requirements:

Can't replace comma with newline

I'm trying to make a double replacement.

Replace ".settings," with nothing ... i.e. delete it.
Replace all "," with "\n"

Then export to a physical file.
your action doesn't seem to want to use EOL & I can't figure out how to pass the output of the first run to the next.
Any help would be appreciated.
It's working currently with a mixture of actions/behaviors but darn its ugly.

Multiple occurances not replaced

I've tried to replace slashes in branch name like feature/stage/my-branch and second slash symbol was not replaced.
I'm not sure about options to repeat replacing step until all symbols are not replaced, so probably it will be better to handle it in your code.

bug: strips spaces at edges

I need to replace a character with --tag but the result strips, eg:

…	…
input	`a,b,c`
output	`a--tagb--tagc`
desired	`a --tag b --tag c`

Github Actions deprecating set-output commands

Hello!

With the set-output commands being disabled soon, will this package be able to update to use the Environment files instead?

Thanks.

        with:

          find: '"' 
          replace: '\\\"'
