I have a large volume of files to change so I need to
automate the search and replace. I'll be replacing
bits of text with other bits of text. This is working
for now but I'd like to know how a real programmer
would do it. The hard coded strings will eventually
come from a list. All sugestions welcome and
appreciated.
#read all file lines into list and close
allLines = fh.readlines()
fh.close()
#use split and join to replace a unique item
chunk = allLines[0]
splitChunk = chunk.split('xVAR1x')
newChunk = 'my shoes fell off'.join(splitChunk)
#write to a file
file = open('test.html', 'w')
for eachLine in newChunk:
print 'writing line in text file'
file.write(eachLine)
file.close()
