Python script that does batch find and replace in txt files Need a python script that opens all .txt files in a folder find replace/delete text and save files.
I have text files and I need to perform below steps for each file. Step 1: Put cursor at start of file and Search for "Contact's Name:". Delete all the rows before it. Step 2: Put cursor at end of file, Search for "Contact's Name:" select option UP. Step 3: Search for "Photo of the" Replace with blanks Step 4: Search for "Contact is" Replace with blanks Step 5: Search for "Contact's Name:" Replace with blanks Step 6: Search for "Age:" Replace with blanks Step 7: Search for "Sex:" Replace with blanks Step 8: Search for "House No:" Replace with blanks Step 9: Search for "available" Replace with blanks Step 10: Remove Empty Lines Containing Blank Characters from file Step 11: Trim Leading Space for each line Step 12: Trim Trailing Space after each line Step 13: Search for - (hyphen) Replace with _ (underscore) Step 14: Save file. Currently I have recorded a macro in Notepad++. I open each file, run macro and save file. As there are many files I was looking for a program to automate the process. I posted the same query in Notepad++ forum. I got a reply that it can be done by using Python script. Kindly do the needful. Thank you. khalidness -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
