[Planetlab-devel] editRecord.py (geniwrapper)

[Faiyaz Ahmed]

Hi Scott and Ihsan,

Please take a look at getRecord.py and setRecord.py.  I believe they  
subsume what editRecord could do.

getRecord will display a record collected from sfi and setRecord can  
edit fields in it.

For example:
# to get a record from sfi, and write it to ~/.sfi/
$ ./sfi.py show -o faiyaza.record plc.princeton.faiyaza

# to see what is in this record
$ /getRecord.py < ~/.sfi/faiyaza.record
last_name: Ahmed
...

# to edit a field in the record
./setRecord.py last_name=foo < ~/.sfi/faiyaza.record > ~/.sfi/ 
faiyaza.new.record

# to display the new record
$ ./getRecord.py < ~/.sfi/faiyaza.new.record
last_name: foo

Use the --help flag for more information.

Your comments are more than welcome.   Please let me know if these  
utilities need anything else.
