Scripting: snmp-server location & contact updates

Question

I want to create a script that moves some information from the snmp-location line to the snmp-contact line in switch & router configs (NCM). Anything after the zip code in the location line should be moved. The current information in snmp-contact can be deleted, and I have a script already prepared to handle that. The devices are primarily Cisco.

Does anyone know a script that would achieve moving information from one line to another, specifically after a 5-digit zip code?

Another idea was to have the script read the custom properties of the nodes as location information is located there too.

Thank you for the help.

Hi

IMHO just use Compliance Reports to locate and replace those statements ..
