Hi all,

I’m trying to make modifications in tomcat config file server.xml using lineinfile. I have a whole valve tag to comment. I have things like that :

And whould like to insert after.

Problème is that the tag may be on multiple lines :

How to match this, and replace it ? Maybe lineinfile is not the solution…

Regards
