ios用PlistBuddy修改Plist文件

Plist文件是以.plist为结尾的文件的总称. 众所周知, Plist在MacOSX系统中起着举足轻重的作用，就如同Windows里面的Registry一样，系统和程序使用Plist文件来存储自己的安装/配置/属性等信息。正如可以使用命令行命令来处理大多数系统管理一样，操作Plist文件也是系统提供的。   

所幸有PlistBuddy工具，这个工具通过它的简单语法就可以操作嵌套的键值。如果你的系统没有PlistBudy可以安装苹果的开发工具。

基本的使用可以查看man文档或者是在线帮助:

$ plistbuddy -h
Command Format:
    Help- Prints this information
    Exit- Exits the program, changes are not saved to the file
    Save- Saves the current changes to the file
    Revert- Reloads the last saved version of the file
    Clear[<</code>Type>]- Clears out all existing entries, and creates root ofType
    Print[<</code>Entry>]- Prints value of Entry.  Otherwise, printsfile
    Set<</code>Entry><</code>Value>- Sets the value at Entry to Value
    Add<</code>Entry><</code>Type>[<</code>Value>]- Adds Entry to the plist, with valueValue
    Copy<</code>EntrySrc><</code>EntryDst>- Copies the EntrySrc property toEntryDst
    Delete<</code>Entry>- Deletes Entry from the plist
    Merge<</code>file.plist>[<</code>Entry>]- Adds the contents of file.plist toEntry
    Import<</code>Entry><</code>file>- Creates or sets Entry the contents offile
               
Entry Format:
    Entriesconsist of property key names delimited bycolons.  Array items
    arespecified by a zero-based integer index. Examples:
        :CFBundleShortVersionString
        :CFBundleDocumentTypes:2:CFBundleTypeExtensions
               
Types:
    string
    array
    dict
    bool
    real
    integer
    date
    data
               
Examples:
    Set:CFBundleIdentifier com.apple.plistbuddy
        Setsthe CFBundleIdentifier property tocom.apple.plistbuddy
    Add:CFBundleGetInfoString string "App version 1.0.1"
        Addsthe CFBundleGetInfoString property to the plist
    Add:CFBundleDocumentTypes: dict
        Addsa new item of type dict to the CFBundleDocumentTypesarray
    Add:CFBundleDocumentTypes:0 dict
        Addsthe new item to the beginning of the array
    Delete:CFBundleDocumentTypes:0 dict
        Deletesthe FIRST item in the array
    Delete:CFBundleDocumentTypes
        Deletesthe ENTIRE CFBundleDocumentTypes array

这里主要解释一下PlistBuddy的几个关键点.

• 如何定义嵌套的键值:正如前面说的它使用一种简单的描述方式，上一层的键值在前面，而每个键值之间使用":"符号分隔,比如：本文最初的例子中Software->Gallery->OnlineMarketplace表述为:":Software:Gallery:OnlineMarketplace",第一个":"表示根.

• 而如果键值的名称包含空格等特殊字符的时候，如同命令行的转义字符一样，使用"/"来转义，比如:":Software:Gallery:Online/ Marketplace".

• PlistBuddy如果不使用"-c"参数，则进入人机交互模式,"-c"的意思就是执行它后面的命令列表，而命令如果有参数，需要把它们包含在引号中，

1.添加

plistbuddy -c 'Add :Software:Gallery:Version string "1.0"'~/Desktop/com.sample.plist

2.输出

plistbuddy -c "Print" ~/Desktop/com.sample.plist

3.修改

plistbuddy -c 'Set :Software:Gallery:Version "1.1"'~/Desktop/com.sample.plist

4.删除

plistbuddy -c 'Delete :Software:Gallery:Version'~/Desktop/com.sample.plist

5.合并

plistbuddy -c "Merge ~/Desktop/Global.plist :Software:Gallery"~/Desktop/com.sample.plist
