A command line tool to apply substitutions to a text file
Project description
apply-subs
A command line tool to apply a dictionnary (json) of substitutions to text files.
Installation
The easiest installation method is
$ pip install apply-subs
In order to install apply-sub
in isolation, use pipx
instead.
Examples
minimal case
$ echo "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit" > mytext.txt
$ echo '{"Hello": "Lorem ipsum", "goodbye": "adipiscing elit"}' > mysubs.json
$ apply-subs mytext.txt -s mysubs.json
will print the patched content
Hello dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore goodbye.
diff mode
Use diff mode (-d/--diff
) to print a diff instead of the end result
--- mytext.txt
+++ mytext.txt (patched)
@@ -1 +1 @@
-Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit
+Hello dolor sit amet, consectetur goodbye
Use -cp/--cdiff/--colored-diff
for a colored output (when supported).
inplace substitutions
-i/--inplace
$ apply-subs --inplace mytext.txt -s mysubs.json
is equivalent to
$ apply-subs mytext.txt -s mysubs.json > mytext.txt
target several files in one go
The target
positional argument can consist of a single file (as illustrated above),
or many. This is useful for instance if you need to apply a set of subtitutions to
all files in a project whose name match a regexp.
$ git ls-files | egrep "(.md|.py)$" | xargs apply-subs -s subsubs.json -i
