Package Dependencies

The following packages may not work properly if they are not installed:

• PyYAML: Most popular YAML parser for Python.

Example

my_pet.txt:

I have one dog and one cat.

replacer.json:

{"dog":"wolf", "cat":"lion"}

> simrep replacer.json my_pet.txt
> cat my_pet.txt
I have one wolf and one lion.

Sytax

simrep <replacer> <text_file>

replacer is in JSON or YAML format.

replacer must be written by key-value like {original_word: replacement_word}.

text_file can also be specified as a directory, but note that in this case, it will replace all files within that directory and its subdirectories.

If you prefer not to overwrite text_file, you can use the -n option to output to a new file or directory.
