How to replace text on wiki with wiki markup through cli?

[Christopher Dlugolinski]

I am a new new new user and have started using the cli to generate wiki pages in confluence.

It is working just fine but then I need a list created (arbitrary number of items per page), so I need to replace the place holder text with the list.

or is there another way to do this through the cli?

thanks for any help

The way I got this to work is through looking at the Tools -> "View Storage Format" of the page it showed that to --findReplace you should pass in the html tags you will get the wiki markup

The below will replace <text to replace> with the list:

--findReplace <text to replace>:"<ol><li>listitem</li><li>listitem2</li></ol>"

Thanks for your input.
