Abstraction of Regex find and replace on a file
Project description
File Sculpt v. 0.0.1
This python module abstracts finding and replacing certain portions of a file through regular expressions. It is a class that creates abstraction of the inner workings of opening and closing a file when finding and replacing its contents.
CLASS DEFINITION:
Sculptfile( tofind : re , replacewith : list, inpath : str, outpath : str)
CLASS ARGUMENTS:
tofind - is of type re or regular expression which is used to find/define portions of the file to be replaced with
See https://docs.python.org/3/howto/regex.html for more info on regular expressions
replacewith - is a list that should contain either a string or an integer. This list will be rendered in ascending order as replacement for the objects found through regex. An integer refers to the grouping order in a regex query.
For example:
If a file contains 'The quick brown fox' and after regex operations (quick,fox) is obtained, The file's contents can be replaced by assigning a replacewith list formatted as ["A ",0," yellow ",1]. The integers' 0 and 1 represent quick and fox, and when rendered 'A quick yellow fox' is obtained
inpath - is a string filepath for the file to be read
outpath - is an optional string filepath for the file to be written after operations are done. If not specified the inpath is set as the outpath and changes will overwrite the file.
CLASS METHODS:
scuttle() - opens the file specified by inpath as read and returns the regular expression findall() list of the tofind argument
sculpt() = executes the scuttle method and then executes the replacement specified by replacewith. Writes the result to the file specified in outpath
