I use the code below through Notepad++ but I cannot make it match whole words
with open('C:/Temp/Substitutions.txt') as f:
for l in f:
s = l.split()
editor.replace(s[0], s[1])I also tried:
editor.pyreplace(r'\b' + s[0] + r'\b', s[1])
and
editor = re.sub(r'\b' + s[0] + r'\b', s[1], editor)
What exactly do you want to achieve? Matching a whole word or replace one with another.
with open('C:/Temp/Substitutions.txt') as f:
for line in f:
if word in line.lower(): # lower is an option here if you want case insensitive matching
# do something

This works for me
Output:
>>> re.sub(r'\b'+'CD'+r'\b','XX','ABCD CD CDAB ABCDEF CD')
'ABCD XX CDAB ABCDEF XX'
So I would suspect that the contents of
s[0] aren't what you think they are (you don't even
trim() the input lines)
On the C:/Temp/Substitutions.txt file I have a list of words separated by space. I want to match a whole word on the left, and replace it with the whole word on the right of the list. For example, if in my substitutions file there is
comp [[comp]]
I do not want it to match words like
computer
uncompare
but only instances of the word "comp" (the word may be preceded and followed by punctuation of course).
I found it
editor.rereplace(r'\b' + s[0] + r'\b', s[1])
