Regex, replace entire line on a hit.

[joshuagarrison]

I am looking to have BFG clean my repos. However I when a string is found instead of replace the string I want to replace the entire line of the file.

Take this example. I have several files over several repos with API keys in them.

<block> <APIKEY>HASH1</APIKEY> </block>

As I understand I would have to gather all "Hash1" "Hash2" "Hash3" etc in a large file and tell bfg to replace them. I simply want to replace the entire line with REDACTED LINE or some other string. when the string "<APIKEY>" is found.

The above is a made up example that can be applied to all the cases I have. I can bring out specific cases.

You can use a remove_file.txt, and use regex to replace your specific line . Example:

regex:apikey=\w+==>apikey # Replace, using a regex
