pastebin-replace

Small, simple python package to replace a file with raw code from Pastebin.

Installation

From Source

pip install .

With pip (PyPI)

pip install pastebin-replace

Usage

Within Python Script

pbreplace(path, link)

Terminal

pbreplace <path> <link>

Example

Suppose you have an empty file named test.txt located in C:\Users\Yourname\Downloads\test.txt. And you know a public Pastebin https://pastebin.com/hcv2WRnX containing some text. You want the content of test.txt to be like the text on the Pastebin link.

You can write this with Python:

from pastebin_replace import pbreplace

pbreplace(r"C:\Users\Yourname\Downloads\test.txt", "https://pastebin.com/hcv2WRnX")

Or directly from terminal:

pbreplace C:\Users\Yourname\Downloads\test.txt https://pastebin.com/hcv2WRnX

Note

Replaced file can't be recovered. Be careful on the path you provided.

Background

Why did I make this? I need this package for a specific usage in my Google Colab workflow.

Special Thanks
