我想循环一个文本文件的内容，并在一些行上进行搜索和替换，并将结果写回文件。我可以先把整个文件加载到内存中，然后再把它写回来，但这可能不是最好的方法。
在下面的代码中，做到这一点的最佳方法是什么?
f = open(file)
for line in f:
if line.contains('foo'):
newline = line.replace('foo', 'bar')
# how to write this newline back to the file
当前回答
如果您删除缩进如下所示，它将在多行中搜索和替换。 请看下面的例子。
def replace(file, pattern, subst):
#Create temp file
fh, abs_path = mkstemp()
print fh, abs_path
new_file = open(abs_path,'w')
old_file = open(file)
for line in old_file:
new_file.write(line.replace(pattern, subst))
#close temp file
new_file.close()
close(fh)
old_file.close()
#Remove original file
remove(file)
#Move new file
move(abs_path, file)
其他回答
扩展@Kiran的回答，我认为它更简洁和python化，这增加了编解码器来支持UTF-8的读写:
import codecs
from tempfile import mkstemp
from shutil import move
from os import remove
def replace(source_file_path, pattern, substring):
fh, target_file_path = mkstemp()
with codecs.open(target_file_path, 'w', 'utf-8') as target_file:
with codecs.open(source_file_path, 'r', 'utf-8') as source_file:
for line in source_file:
target_file.write(line.replace(pattern, substring))
remove(source_file_path)
move(target_file_path, source_file_path)
这应该工作:(就地编辑)
import fileinput
# Does a list of files, and
# redirects STDOUT to the file in question
for line in fileinput.input(files, inplace = 1):
print line.replace("foo", "bar"),
如果你想要一个通用函数，用其他文本替换任何文本，这可能是最好的方法，特别是如果你是regex的粉丝:
import re
def replace( filePath, text, subs, flags=0 ):
with open( filePath, "r+" ) as file:
fileContents = file.read()
textPattern = re.compile( re.escape( text ), flags )
fileContents = textPattern.sub( subs, fileContents )
file.seek( 0 )
file.truncate()
file.write( fileContents )
下面是另一个经过测试的例子，它将匹配搜索和替换模式:
import fileinput
import sys
def replaceAll(file,searchExp,replaceExp):
for line in fileinput.input(file, inplace=1):
if searchExp in line:
line = line.replace(searchExp,replaceExp)
sys.stdout.write(line)
使用示例:
replaceAll("/fooBar.txt","Hello\sWorld!$","Goodbye\sWorld.")
创建一个新文件，将行从旧文件复制到新文件，并在将行写入新文件之前执行替换操作。
