Hi,

this whole approach is hardly ideal. Try and take a look at the
file_line type in the stdlib module. It will likely do exactly what you
need.

https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-stdlib#file_line

As soon as you install the stdlib module, the type becomes available to
your manifests.

HTH,
Felix

I have had great luck with the file_line, expecially when used with the
'match =>' parameter which keeps there from being multiple lines if you
update the contents of 'line =>' at some point.

file_line { 'sbin_for_root':
path => '/root/.profile',
line => 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/sbin",
match => '^export PATH=',
}
