Replace text in directories
A command line tool to replace text easily and recursively in directories
python replace.py [-h] [dir] input_file output_file
It replaces the content of input_file with the content of output_file,
respecting the indentation level in all the files in dir.
For example, for
input_file
self.assertRaises(Error, call, param1, param2)
output_file
with self.assertRaises():
call(param1, param2)
it will replace occurrences of input for output in all files
- Works only with full lines
- Very early development
- For more syntax aware refactors, take a look at undebt (http://undebt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
- Only indentation with spaces, no tabs
- More tests
- Properly packetize it and make a script
- Use parse (https://github.com/r1chardj0n3s/parse) to allow better control over replacement, it will probably be never super awesome, but will add tons of flexibility
- Maye unify the input and output files to replace
