sha1sum of file is different than context has in file.xml

sha1sum of file is different than context has in file.xml

I'm having to do a lot of edits to a number of courses, the edits are to insert {mlang} tags around content in the page.xml

After making the edits I need to update the file.xml file with new context hash for the edited file.

My plan was to check the sha1sum before editing, then check it after editing and update the file.xml accordingly (with a sed 's/oldhash/newhash/g')

But the sha1sum isn't in the file.xml file.

Am I misunderstanding how the context hash is generated?

I think hashes are only made for binary files like images and PDFs. You can probably just edit the activity data (like page.xml), and re-compress the backup.

HTH,
Dave.

Thank's Dave, I tried that but I keep getting a context error.
