Here's my Python replace script:-
#!/usr/bin/python3
#
#
# String replacement utility
#
import os
import re
import sys
import shutil
def replaceString(s1, s2, fn):
tmpfn = "/tmp/replace.tmp"
tofn = fn
#
#
# copy the file to /tmp
#
shutil.copy(fn, tmpfn);
#
#
# Open the files
#
fromfd = open(tmpfn, 'r');
tofd = open(tofn, 'w');
#
#
# copy the file back where it came from, replacing the string on the way
for ln in fromfd:
ln = re.sub(s1, s2, ln)
tofd.write(ln)
tofd.close()
s1 = sys.argv[1]
s2 = sys.argv[2]
for fn in sys.argv[3:]:
if (os.path.isfile(fn)):
replaceString(s1, s2, fn)
else:
for srcPath, srcDirs, srcFiles in os.walk(fn):
for f in srcFiles:
replaceString(s1, s2, os.path.join(srcPath, f))
