Options to update dokuwiki page contents programmatically

Question

SOers!

I am having some issues with DokuWiki in the terms of content modification automatiozation. My need is to update page programmatically, in my case the data source would be text file, that would be regex parsed and the output would be inserted into DokuWiki page.

Up to this moment, I have not found anything related to this feature, but I really doubt I am only one having need for such stuff, so invetning bycicle again is not a best way here :)

Currently there is something in this Question:

Acces the raw wiki page contents in a Dokuwiki Render Plugin

My sub-Question is - How can I use it to do content modifications? I had mo time to go through whole dokuwiki source code, so I am hoping there are some lego blocks that I could simply attach together to make it happen w/o developing new interfaces etc.

Thanks a lot for any response!

You have three options here:

1. modify page contents on disk direcly. all your pages are in data/pages/pagename.txt as raw text files. you will not have any revision history this way
2. use the XMLRPC API to access and update your pages. See http://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:xmlrpc
3. use the dwpage command line tool to checkout, then modify, then checkin your pagedata again. See http://www.dokuwiki.org/cli#dwpagephp
