Hi,
I can't seem to get the "--at-once" option working. My OS is "Linux Mint 17 Qiana".
I'm not really sure what version of Python is being used. "python2.7 -V" gives "Python 2.7.16", but When I do "python -V" gives "Python 2.7.6". I tested on a file containing "hello\nthere". It seems to find the match, but not do any changes:
repren -p toss_repren --at-once -i ./toss.txt
Using 1 patterns:
'hello' -> 'goodbye'
Found 1 files in: ./toss.txt
Read 1 files (12 chars), found 1 matches (0 skipped due to overlaps)
Changed 0 files (0 rewritten and 0 renamed)
When I drop the "--at-once" option, it works:
repren -p toss_repren -i ./toss.txt
Using 1 patterns:
'hello' -> 'goodbye'
Found 1 files in: ./toss.txt
I also did "bash run.sh" to run the tests. Most seemed to work but at the end I got "ls_portable test2
tail: cannot open ‘+2’ for reading: No such file or directory". Thanks in advance for your help.
This is a big omission. Currently testing informally.
Need some end-to-end automated test to cover lots of corner cases by doing some complex renames on a complex tree of files and validating the matches. Can do a sequence of operations including rewrites, renames, and swaps, record the tallies, put them all back, and validate the final result is identical using diff -r
.
Perhaps simplest to automate with a silly script harness a bit like https://github.com/jlevy/procdog/blob/master/tests/run.sh
When using dry-run mode (-n
), files won't be modified.
However, if we are renaming entire paths, the implementation of transform_file() temporarily creates the parent paths of the new, rewritten path as part of the dry run (to better reproduce real behavior, and because it counts matches).
This means it can leave behind new, empty directories.
This isn't a really big deal, but it's arguably a bug.
Trying to replace a string in files inside a directory I get the following error:
Dry run: No files will be changed Using 1 patterns: 'xxx' -> 'yyy' Found 6617 files in: .eclipse/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/repren", line 534, in <module> dry_run=options.dry_run) File "/usr/bin/repren", line 409, in rewrite_files rewrite_file(path, patterns, do_renames=do_renames, do_contents=do_contents, by_line=by_line, dry_run=dry_run) File "/usr/bin/repren", line 375, in rewrite_file counts = transform_file(transform, path, dest_path, by_line=by_line, dry_run=dry_run) File "/usr/bin/repren", line 339, in transform_file counts = transform_stream(transform, stream_in, stream_out, by_line=by_line) File "/usr/bin/repren", line 307, in transform_stream (new_line, new_counts) = transform(line) File "/usr/bin/repren", line 374, in <lambda> transform = lambda contents: multi_replace(contents, patterns, source_name=path) File "/usr/bin/repren", line 209, in multi_replace for match in regex.finditer(input_str): TypeError: can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object
The exact command given is: repren --from xxx --to yyy --dry-run .eclipse/
My guess is that this happens because there are binary files in the directory.
Could there be an option to skip binary files?
This is an example:
$ mkdir 1
$ cd 1
$ touch {1,2,3,4,5}.txt
$ mkdir {6,7,8,9}
$ cp *txt 6
$ repren -n --renames --from "^" --to "aaa_" [6789]
Dry run: No files will be changed
Using 1 patterns:
'^' -> 'aaa_'
Found 5 files in: 6, 7, 8, 9
- rename: 6/4.txt -> aaa_6/4.txt
- rename: 6/1.txt -> aaa_6/1.txt
- rename: 6/3.txt -> aaa_6/3.txt
- rename: 6/5.txt -> aaa_6/5.txt
- rename: 6/2.txt -> aaa_6/2.txt
Read 5 files (0 chars), found 0 matches (0 skipped due to overlaps)
Dry run: Would have changed 5 files (0 rewritten and 5 renamed)
$ repren --renames --from "^" --to "aaa_" [6789]
Using 1 patterns:
'^' -> 'aaa_'
Found 5 files in: 6, 7, 8, 9

with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst:
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'aaa_6/4.txt'
So it is a bug plus feature request (rename folders only, or at least rename them like files)
Since repren has a test script, we should run it automatically with Travis CI.
I'm going to take a look at this now.
great code thanks
is it possible randomly rename all variables in python file
so have file from github and want to make it not recognizable for others?
Firstly, many thanks for putting this up - I think it's brilliant. In addition to code refactoring this is tremendously useful for people editing and revising books (with LaTeX, markdown and/or reStructured Text sources). For this purpose it would be very helpful to have repren
deal also with non-ascii characters (e.g. accented characters in foreign words).
Would you consider adding an --encoding
option to enable users to specify file encoding? repren
could then decode the inputs read from pattern and input files to unicode, do all the internal processing in unicode and then encode again when writing output.
When doing renames with no replacements, --dry-run is broken in 0.3.6.
$ repren --from '#include <a.h>' --to '#include <b.h>' .
error: found no parse patterns
Same with --literal
:
$ repren --literal --from '#include <a.h>' --to '#include <b.h>' .
error: found no parse patterns
This is because it interprets the #
as a comment character (in function parse_patterns()
).
It would be nice if this comment logic did not apply when patterns are supplied directly via --from
--to
, and/or when --literal
is given.
First off, thanks for the great tool.
I like the fact it auto-creates backups. The only thing it seems to be missing is the ability to configure where backups are stored. Is this currently possible?
Repren works on Mac and Linux. Currently no testing has been done on Windows. Would be great to have some help with this.
It is not clear from the documentation or from the --help page which mode is the default one.
I'd suggest either adding this into --help page:
- repren: Multi-pattern string replacement and file renaming
+ repren: Multi-pattern string replacement (default) and file renaming tool
or adding a command-line option:
-p PAT_FILE, --patterns=PAT_FILE
file with multiple replacement patterns (see below)
+ --replace-only do search/replace on file contents (default)
--full do file renames and search/replace on file contents
--renames do file renames only; do not modify file contents
or adding a simple example to the README that does nothing but a simple search-and-replace:
repren --from center --to centre .
This is the mode that I use most, but it was tricky to find out the exact syntax from the docs.
./bin/k2pdfopt_linux
is a binary file which should not be touched:
repren --dry-run --literal --from agC --to ag_c .
Dry run: No files will be changed
Using 1 patterns:
'agC' -> 'ag_c'
Found 200 files in: .
- modify: ./bin/k2pdfopt_linux: 1 matches
- modify: ./zsh/auto-load/others/ag.zsh: 3 matches
Read 200 files (14410423 chars), found 4 matches (0 skipped due to overlaps)
Dry run: Would have changed 2 files (2 rewritten and 0 renamed)

Hi there, great tool, really useful.
From the documentation, it is implicitly deduced that the expressions may be regular expressions. It would be nice to know exactly what dialect of regular expressions is accepted and what features are available.
Thanks!
Currently, when --preserve-case
is used to translate a CamelCase replacements to additional lowercase and uppercase replacements, it inserts underscores in between the word segments. This is cool, but on some occasions it would be useful to additionally do the replacement without the added underscores.
For example, the current behaviour is like this:
$ repren --full --from CamelCase --to DromedaryCase --preserve-case .
Using 4 patterns:
'CAMEL_CASE' -> 'DROMEDARY_CASE'
'CamelCase' -> 'DromedaryCase'
'camelCase' -> 'dromedaryCase'
'camel_case' -> 'dromedary_case'
It would be awesome if it could be extended to do this:
$ repren --full --from CamelCase --to DromedaryCase --preserve-case .
Using 6 patterns:
'CAMEL_CASE' -> 'DROMEDARY_CASE'
'CAMELCASE' -> 'DROMEDARYCASE'
'CamelCase' -> 'DromedaryCase'
'camelCase' -> 'dromedaryCase'
'camel_case' -> 'dromedary_case'
'camelcase' -> 'dromedarycase'
Perhaps this could be opt-in.
repren recurses into directories if they are supplied as arguments. This always makes sense for search/replace.
One feature I've heard: If you're doing renames and not search/replace, you might want to rename directories without recursing. Not sure if this is common or the best solution. Perhaps a --no-recurse option that only applies to files/directories that are listed?
...unless the user uses backups. Multi-gigabyte stuff can be tricky (lost one XXL-sized file this way, fortunately an intermediate result though), so I would add some words of caution into the help screens/README, viz. after the following passage:
"File operations are done atomically, so interruptions never leave a previously existing file truncated or partly edited."
insert this:
"Users must be careful when processing very large files with --at-once option turned on."
Hi there! the tool is really useful. I think it would be great if a simple config file would be supported where the settings are specified.
also would be useful to support --include as well as --exclude. In my case for example it is easy to specify what I want repren to work on... only hpp and cpp files
Cheers!
Possible to only rename the contents of files, and not the file names themselves?
I don't understand how --literal
works, e.g.
python /Users/storm/bin/repren --dry-run --literal -i --from='light.mini_sov' --to='light.bedroom_mini' test
Dry run: No files will be changed
Using 1 patterns:
'light\.mini\_sov' IGNORECASE -> 'light.bedroom_mini'
Why does the from
escape the dots, while the to
doesn`t?
I've tried including -i and --literal twice, but to no avail :)
