Replace text in directories

A command line tool to replace text easily and recursively in directories

python replace.py [-h] [dir] input_file output_file 

It replaces the content of input_file with the content of output_file, respecting the indentation level in all the files in dir.

For example, for

input_file

self.assertRaises(Error, call, param1, param2) 

output_file

with self.assertRaises(): call(param1, param2) 

it will replace occurrences of input for output in all files

• Works only with full lines
• Very early development
• For more syntax aware refactors, take a look at undebt (http://undebt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
• Only indentation with spaces, no tabs

• More tests
• Properly packetize it and make a script
• Use parse (https://github.com/r1chardj0n3s/parse) to allow better control over replacement, it will probably be never super awesome, but will add tons of flexibility
• Maye unify the input and output files to replace
