Example usage

1. Using JSON file

   example.json:

   {
   "patterns": [
   {
   "regex": "(\\d{3} \\d{3} \\d{4})",
   "replace": "xxx xxx xxxx"
   },
   {
   "regex": "(\\d{3}-\\d{3}-\\d{4})",
   "replace": "xxx-xxx-xxxx"
   },
   {
   "regex": "(\\(\\d{3}\\) \\d{3} \\d{4})",
   "replace": "(xxx) xxx xxxx"
   },
   {
   "regex": "(\\d{10})",
   "replace": "xxxxxxxxxx"
   }
   ]
   }

   Warning

   You have to escape the \ character on the JSON file, like this:
   \d -> \\d

   script.py

   fromreplageximportReplagexrg=Replagex('example.json') # JSON file location# This is just a text example. It could be a text file content.text='''555 513 4154555-513-4154(555) 513 41545555134154'''# Apply regexprint(rg.apply_regex(text))

   Script Output:

   xxx xxx xxxx
   xxx-xxx-xxxx
   (xxx) xxx xxxx
   xxxxxxxxxx

---

2. Without JSON file

   script.py

   fromreplageximportReplagexfromreplagex.patternimportPatternrg=Replagex()
   # It's just a text example. It could be text file content.text='''555 513 4154555-513-4154(555) 513 41545555134154'''# Add regex pattern using Pattern Class.rg.add_pattern(
   Pattern(
   "(\\d{3} \\d{3} \\d{4})",
   "xxx xxx xxxx"
   )
   )
   # Apply regexprint(rg.apply_regex(text))

   Script Output:

   xxx xxx xxxx
   555-513-4154
   (555) 513 4154
   5555134154

Extra parameters for patterns

You could use some extra parameters on every regex pattern:

• dotall
• ignore_case
• multiline

By default are False.

Usage on a JSON file:

{
"regex": "(\\d{3} \\d{3} \\d{4})",
"replace": "xxx xxx xxxx",
"dotall": true,
"ignore_case": true,
"multilne": true
},

Using Pattern Class:

rg.add_pattern(
Pattern(
"(\\d{3} \\d{3} \\d{4})",
"xxx xxx xxxx",
dotall=True,
ignore_case=True,
multiline=True
)
)
