# NTK/Tagger - Search & replace text tags in source files

It is part of the NTK project and aims to ease the process of tagging source

files with specific information like license or version information.

A source file tag have the form: @@tag_name@@ 

It can also performs in-file deletions and replacements using python regular 

expressions.

For more information about python regular expressions, please refer to: 

http://docs.python.org/library/re.html

The text processing is done in the following order:

REGEX DELETE > REGEX REPLACE > TAG REPLACE > TAG FILE REPLACE

## Limitations

The '.' (dot) character matches any character, including newline, to allow

multiline search & replace.
