linux代码替换工具,comby：高效代码批量正则替换工具

comby

A short example below shows how comby simplifies matching and rewriting compared to regex approaches like sed.

Need help writing patterns or have other problems? Consider posting in Gitter.

Install (pre-built binaries)

Mac OS X

brew install comby

Ubuntu Linux

bash

Arch and other Linux: The PCRE library is dynamically linked in the Ubuntu binary. For other distributions, like Arch, a fixup is needed: ln -s /usr/lib/libpcre.so /usr/lib/libpcre.so.3. Alternatively, consider building from source.

Windows

Install the Windows Subsystem for Linux and install Ubuntu. Then run bash

Docker

docker pull comby/comby

click to expand an example invocation for the docker image

Running with docker on stdin:

echo '(👋 hi)' | docker run -a stdin -a stdout -i comby/comby '(:[emoji] hi)' 'bye :[emoji]' lisp -stdin

Isn't a regex approach like sed good enough?

Sometimes, yes. But often, small changes and refactorings are complicated by nested expressions, comments, or strings. Consider the following C-like snippet. Say the challenge is to rewrite the two if conditions to the value 1. Can you write a regular expression that matches the contents of the two if condition expressions, and only those two? Feel free to share your pattern with @rvtond on Twitter.

if (fgets(line, 128, file_pointer) == Null) // 1) if (...) returns 0

return 0;

...

if (scanf("%d) %d", &x, &y) == 2) // 2) if (scanf("%d) %d", &x, &y) == 2) returns 0

return 0;

To match these with comby, all you need to write is if (:[condition]), and specify one flag that this language is C-like. The replacement is if (1). See the live example.

Build from source

Install opam

Create a new switch if you don't have OCaml installed:

opam init

opam switch create 4.09.0 4.09.0

Linux: sudo apt-get install pkg-config libpcre3-dev

Mac: brew install pkg-config pcre

Then install the library dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/comby-tools/comby

cd comby && opam install . --deps-only -y

Build and test

make

make test

If you want to install comby on your PATH, run

make install
