Configuration file with multiple replacements

[b-jordanov]

Is there a method to generate a preconfigured file, such as a .yml file, containing instructions? Subsequently, could GrepWin be employed to systematically process this file, executing replacements in the order specified until the entire list is traversed? I envision a streamlined configuration process that can be initiated with a single command:

`replacements:

• search_keyphrase: "OriginalString"
  replace_keyphrase: "ReaplacmentString"
  folder_location: "/path/to/folder1"
  exceptions:

  • "exception_folder1"
  • "exception_folder2"
    search_in_files: true
    search_in_file_names: true
    search_in_folder_names: false
    whole_word: true

• search_keyphrase: "AnotherKeyword"
  replace_keyphrase: "NewValue"
  folder_location: "/path/to/folder2"
  use_regex: true
  exceptions:

  • "exception_folder3"
    search_in_files: false
    search_in_file_names: false
    search_in_folder_names: true

• search_string: "./ 1 1 e m91dmlqcncrandomstringgoeshere Symbols, tabs, etc $%#!()$_! it may have spaces in it as well"
  replace_string: "replaced value for the string"
  folder_location: "/path/to/folder3"
  exceptions:

  • "/path/example"
  • "/path/example/*"
    search_in_files: true
    search_in_file_names: false
    search_in_folder_names: true

• search_keyphrase: "RegexExample[0-9]+"
  replace_keyphrase: "NumericValue"
  folder_location: "/path/to/folder4"
  use_regex: true
  exceptions:

  • "/path/regex_folder"
    search_in_files: true
    search_in_file_names: true
    search_in_folder_names: false`

(And yes, I know grep win does not search in folder and file names but that would be great too if possible). Thank you for the wonderful tool! It does magic when I have to deal with Windows.
