I have a .txt file which is hugeI have read it using readlines() in python
Sample:
lines = ["XX_A_Name, A_Bad_Joke = '67' , \n", "A quick Black.Jack fox JJ_Value over XX_A_Name a.lazy.dog\n"]
Replacements are defined in excel file:
OldName New_replacementXX_A_ ZZ_B_A_Bad_Joke C_Good_JokeBlack.Jack Yellow.flowerJJ_Value KK_Suma.lazy.dog very.hugeI want to read the excel file and replace all the occurances of the values which are listed in OldName column from the txt file.
For eg: the sample output should be like:
["ZZ_B_Name, C_Good_Joke = '67' , \n", "A quick Yellow.flower fox KK_Sum over ZZ_B_Name very.huge\n"]
I want to create a function for this. because this is just sample portion of the txt file I've pasted here. there are multiple .txt files which has to be load, replaced and saved as a new .txt file.
I am seeking help for a efficient and a quick way to do this.
Reading excel can be done using pd.read_excel() and re package can be used for replace(). but I am not able to understand how everything will fit together.
