Question

I need to write a regex, that will traverse through my file and replace each :

href='#!/api/API.

with

href='http://www.domain.com/API. . I currently have this kind of code, that will be run from console :

def replace(file, pattern, substring):
    my_file = open(file)
    for line in my_file:
        my_file.write(line.replace(pattern, substring))

Will sending the given strings work in this case ?

Answer 1

So you want to replace #!/api with http://www.domain.com?

You can just do:

line.replace('#!/api','http://www.domain.com')

No need for regex.
