[EP-tech] Re: question about update an eprint on cli

Hi all,

in a perl script I can create an EPrint with
EPrints::DataObj::EPrint::create

Is there a EPrint update function based on $eprint->get_id ?
I could not find it in EPrints::DataObj::EPrint.


Do you mean retrieving an eprint?

$eprint = $repo->dataset( "eprint" )->dataobj( $eprintid );
... make changes
$eprint->commit;
In recent versions of EPrints there are "update()" and "clear()" methods, which make it easier to update existing records without overwriting core data. 

You should check the perldoc on DataSet.pm and DataObj.pm.

All the best,
Tim.
