I am running replace.py and have several questions.
- Can I replace only the first result per page?
That is possible with some regular expression magic:
python replace.py -regex "(?s)foo(.*$)" "bar\1" -page:Fubar
Maybe you have to type \1 instead of \1 if you're using Windows.
- Can I exclude hits within a wikilink, url or header? E.g. can I look
for
appropriate technology but ensure it's not inside a wikilink, e.g. * [[Peter's appropriate technology lamp]] or * [[Wikipedia:Appropriate technology|appropriate technology stuff at Wikipedia]]) or * http://forum.permaculture.org (if I'm looking for "permaculture"). * == Permaculture program ==
You can run this: python replace.py foo bar -page:Fubar -exceptinsidetag:link -exceptinsidetag:hyperlink
This will exclude wikilinks and URLs. There are some more things that can be excluded, see the source code of the method replaceExcept() in wikipedia.py (look at the exceptionRegexes dictionary). I have just added a regular expression for section headers for you, so if you're running the SVN version, you can use this parameter:
-exceptinsidetag:header
