sedeuce

A sed clone in Python with both CLI and library interfaces

Current Support

• Can input script string from command line
  • Line range and regex conditions are supported
  • Substitute command is supported (except for special sequence characters in replace string i.e. \l \L \u \U \E)
• Can optionally input file list from command line
  • Read from stdin is supported if no files given
• Option -i, --in-place supported

Known Differences with sed

• Substitute
  • The Python module re is internally used for all regular expressions. The inputted regular expression is modified only when basic regular expressions are used.
  • The m/M modifier will act differently due to how Python re handles multiline mode

Development Roadmap

• Support for special sequence characters in substitute command
• Support all or most of the SED script commands
• Support all options
• Add custom line identifier option input
• Implement unit tests for all features
• Add CI workflow
