<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578086 by <a href="/recipes/users/4180867/">Andrew Yurisich</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/character/">character</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/replace/">replace</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/substitute/">substitute</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/text/">text</a>). 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>
