Well perhaps not so much, but it was funnier than to do it manually. </p>

Accepts regular expressions as search and replacement patterns.</p> <p><strong>Example usage</strong>:</p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>python find_replace_regex.py ".", "&lt;span[^&gt;]*&gt;", "&lt;div&gt;", "*.html" backup </code></pre> <p><strong>Note</strong>: On win32 the <code>&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;</code> symbols are interpreted by the shell as input/output redirection even when they are surrounded with single or double quotes, and therefore need to be escaped with the caret character <code>^</code>.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578166 by <a href="/recipes/users/2033964/">Oren Tirosh</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/atomic/">atomic</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/contextmanager/">contextmanager</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/file/">file</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/replace/">replace</a>). Revision 3. </p> <p>This context manager ensures that a file's content is either replaced atomically with new contents or left unchanged. An exception or other error will not leave it empty or with partial content.</p>

Revision 9. </p> <p>Useful if you need to replace many different characters with all of the same character. Can accept an unlimited number of request to replace.</p> <p>Does not work with words, only characters. You can, however, replace single characters with words. I may go back and re-implement it using tuples for the keys, but this would make searching the text for any matches pretty expensive, I'd imagine. At that point, it's mostly a job for a regex, and those tools already exist.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>While using the built-in range function a while ago. I found an odd (perhaps bug) where the range function couldn't use float steps. I am not sure if that was intended for simplicity or not, but I wrote my own range function that goes beyond that anyway.</p>
