I think that we are in violent agreement on this ;)

Surely the straight thing to say is:
>>> foo.replace(' CONTENT_PATH ', ' Substitute ')
'foo bar baz spam Substitute bar spam'
Not quite the same thing (but yes, with a third argument of 1, it would be).
But there was no guarantee of spaces

Do you? Is there any other way?
result = re.sub(pattern, repl, string, count=0, flags=0);
I think I understand that pattern is the regex I'm searching for and
repl is the thing I want to substitute for

Thanks. That does help quite a lot.

re.sub works on a string, not on a file.
Read the file to a string, pass it in as the string.
Or pre-compile the search pattern(s) and process the file line by line:
import re
patts
I need to use re.sub to replace strings in a text file. I can't seem to
understand how to use the re module to this end.
result = re.sub(pattern, repl, string, count=0, flags=0);
I think I understand that pattern is the regex I'm searching for and repl is
the thing I want to substitute for what
10 matches
