Well, both facilities are now implemented, documented and tested in the
git repo.
Some remarks:
- The -n option now accepts a list of indexes N1,N2,N3,... where each
index can be a range with the form MIN-MAX.
- The random option uses the switch --random or -m (-r was taken in some
of the utilities for other purposes).
Note that the utilities supporting those options are recsel, recins
(replace mode), recdel and recset. So it is now possible to:
Replace random records:
$ recins -m 2 -f FieldNmae -v Value
Delete or comment-out random records:
$ recdel -m 5 foo.rec
Operate on the fiels of random records:
$ recset -m 5 -f FieldName -r NewFieldName
Please send any bug report to address@hidden
