Text Replacement Script

This project is a Python-based script that processes files in a directory, detects text content, and replaces specific words with generic alternatives based on a predefined dictionary. It is designed for portability and ease of use.

Features

• Processes multiple file formats (e.g., .txt, .java, .yaml, etc.) in a folder.
• Skips empty or non-text files automatically.
• Performs case-insensitive word replacements.
• Dynamically detects the project folder and input files for easy portability.
• Creates the input folder if it doesn't exist.

How to Use

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/victordrose/replace-word-script
   cd replace-word-script
   

2. Run the Script:

   py gptsafe.py
   

3. Check the Output:

   The script will modify the files in place, replacing the specified words.

Configuration

Update the word_replacements dictionary in the script to define custom words and their replacements:

word_replacements = {
    "password": "REDACTED",
    "secret": "REDACTED",
    "username": "USER",
    "email": "EMAIL",
}

Requirements

Python 3.6 or higher.
