Hi .

	I am trying to change two lines in a single file (etc/php.ini) but my
script is not doing this in one time .Please hav a look

import re
import sys
import os

def re_new(pat, rep, s):
         print re.sub(pat, rep, s)
       
_stext_1 = 'memory_limit...M'            #first word to search
_rtext_1 = 'memory_limit = 512M  ;'    #to be replaced with first word
_stext_2 = 'upload_max_filesize.*M'      #Second word
_rtext_2 = 'upload_max_filesize = 9M  ;'         #to replace with second
word
s = open("/home/ccuser/temp1.txt").readlines()
for record in s:
        re_new(_stext_1,_rtext_1,record)  #if found first then replaceit
        re_new(_stext_2,_rtext_2,record)  #else if found second then
replace that

Will you please help me to correct this script so as to both of the
changes occure at a singlr time

Thanks for past, now and future
