One feature that Python’s built-in string replacement facilities does not provide is case-insensitive string replacement. This is a reasonably useful construct (that I use fairly frequently in other languages, such as PHP), which I couldn’t find code for after Googling — so here’s some code that does it (licenced under the WTFPL, of course)
import re def ireplace(self,old,new,count=0): ''' Behaves like string.replace(), but does so in a case-insensitive fashion. ''' pattern = re.compile(re.escape(old),re.I) return re.sub(pattern,new,self,count)
You can also subclass str in order to use it as a bound method:
import re class str_cir(str): ''' A string with a built-in case-insensitive replacement method ''' def ireplace(self,old,new,count=0): ''' Behaves like S.replace(), but does so in a case-insensitive fashion. ''' pattern = re.compile(re.escape(old),re.I) return re.sub(pattern,new,self,count)
Thanks, I was looking for it
Sometime i think python not better solution
You can also do something like this:
import re
new_str = re.sub(‘(?i)pattern’, ‘replacement’, old_str)
The (?i) is the magic key
Hey thanks a lot the “(?i)EN” helped me replace only strings that were Upper Case EN and not lower case
awesome
