find-and-replace

Python package and pre-commit-hook for finding and replacing string(s) in file(s). xxxxxxxx

Prerequisite

dddd pre-commit install pre-commit install -t pre-push sssss The above will make sure precommit will be run automatically on push

Installation as a pip package

This is an easy to use package which is already available here https://pypi.org/project/find-and-replace-template-commit-check/:

You can install the package via pip:

pip install find-and-replace-strings

In case if you want to use it from the root folder in source:

 python -m find_and_replace_strings -h

Usage as a pre commit hook

To use this package, you need to add it to your pre-commit configuration file (.pre-commit-config.yaml). Here's an example:

For config mod

ccccc

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/opencepk/find-and-replace
    rev: v0.0.1
    hooks:
    - id: find-and-replace-strings
      name: find-and-replace-strings
      description: Find and replace strings
      entry: find-and-replace-strings
      language: python
      pass_filenames: true
      exclude_types:
        - binary
      files: README.md
      verbose: true

and for direct mode

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/opencepk/find-and-replace
    rev: v0.0.1
    hooks:
    - id: find-and-replace-strings
      name: find-and-replace-strings
      description: Find and replace strings
      entry: find-and-replace-strings
      language: python
      pass_filenames: true
      exclude_types:
        - binary
      args: ["--find", "search_string", "--replacement", "replacement_string"]
      files: README.md
      verbose: true

Please note you also have a choice of files: '.*.md$' or files: .

In this configuration, the find-and-replace hook is set to read search and replacement strings from a file (.project-properties.json by default which should be defined in the root of the project you want to use this package). You can also specify the search and replacement strings directly in the args field (which is not a suggested way).

Usage as a python package

python -m find_and_replace_strings --usage or find-and-replace-strings --usage

shows some usage examples.

 python -m find_and_replace_strings --usage
Example usages:
python -m find_and_replace_strings --config e2e/.find-and-replace.json e2e/precommit-e2e.test --dry-run --verbose
python -m find_and_replace_strings --config e2e/.find-and-replace.json e2e/precommit-e2e.test --dry-run --log-level=DEBUG
python -m find_and_replace_strings --find 'old_string' --replacement 'new_string' example.txt --verbose

python -m find_and_replace_strings --config my_config.json example.txt --dry-run --verbose
python -m find_and_replace_strings --config e2e/.find-and-replace.json e2e/precommit-e2e.test --dry-run --log-level=INFO

Run tests

python -m unittest tests.test_main

How to run it using installed python package

  pip install find-and-replace-strings
  find-and-replace --config .find-and-replace.json README1.md README2.md

also if you prefer to use a direct mod

Dry run

Inside the project

python -m find_and_replace_strings --config ./.find-and-replace.json ./README.md READMEtest.md --dry-run

or using the deployed package

find-and-replace-strings --config ./.find-and-replace.json ./README.md READ MEtest.md --dry-run

More example:

python -m find_and_replace_strings --config e2e/.find-and-replace.json e2e/precommit-e2e.test --dry-run --verbose

If you need more help with the available flags

python -m find_and_replace_strings -h
usage: __main__.py [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--find] [--replacement] [--dry-run]
                   [--log-level LOG_LEVEL] [--verbose] [--usage]
                   [files ...]

Perform find and replace operations on one or more target files. By default, the script reads the
search and replacement entries (strings) from a JSON file. You can also specify the search and
replacement strings directly as command line args by setting the --find "search_string" and
--replacement "replacement_string" argument options.

positional arguments:
  files                 File(s) on which to perform search and replace

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG       PATH to JSON config file containing find and replacement entries
  --find                String to find in files
  --replacement         String to replace with in files
  --dry-run             Perform a dry run without making any changes
  --log-level LOG_LEVEL
                        Set the logging level (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL)
  --verbose             Print debug and info messages
  --usage               Print example usages
