String wrangling for bulk find-and-replace operations

stringle

String wrangling for bulk find-and-replace operations. Example:

from stringle import Directory, Replacer

replacements = [
    ('old_text', 'new_text'),
    ('another_old', 'another_new'),
]
directory = Directory(path='/path/to/directory')
replacer = Replacer(files=directory.selected_files)
replacer(replacements)

Features

• Recursive directory traversal - Process entire directory trees with the Directory class
• Multiple replacements - Apply many find-and-replace operations in one pass
• Case sensitivity control - Case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching
• Regex support - Use regular expressions for complex patterns
• Flexible filtering:
  • Ignore specific directories (e.g., .git, .venv, node_modules)
  • Ignore specific files
  • Filter by file extension (ignore or include specific extensions)
