# replace

Replace text in directories

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

Usage

-----

    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

Limitations

-----------

- 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

To Dos

------

- 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
