Python - Way to recursively find and replace string in text files

Question

I want to recursively search through a directory with subdirectories of text files and replace every occurrence of {$replace} within the files with the contents of a multi l

Answer 1

Use:

pip3 install manip

This lets you use a decorator to create something like:

@manip(at='.php$', recursive=True) # to apply to subfolders
def replace_on_php(text, find, replacement):
    return text.replace(find, replacement)

Now in your prompt you should be able to call

replace_on_php('explode', 'myCustomExplode', path='./myPhPFiles', modify=True)

and this should make the function apply itself on the entire folder.
