Scripting find & replace operations in Sublime Tex

问题:

Often I find myself doing repetitive file & replace operations in a file. Most often that comes down to fixed find and replace operations; deleting some lines, changing some strings that are always the same and so on.

In Vim that is a no-brainer,

function! Modify_Strength_Files()
    execute':%s/?/-/'
    execute':%s/Ä/-/'
    "--------------------------------------------------------
    execute':%s/Ä/-/'
    execute':%s///g'
    "--------------------------------------------------------
    execute':g/Version\ of\ Light\ Ship/d'
    execute':g/Version\ of\ Data\ for\ Specific\ Regulations/d'
    "--------------------------------------------------------
    " execute':g/LOADING\ CONDITION/d'
    " execute':g/REGULATION:\ A\.562\ IMO\ Resolution/d'

    " This is to reduce multiple blank lines into one.
    execute ':%s/\s\+$//e'
    execute ':%s/\n\{3,}/\r\r/e'
    " ---------------------
endfunction

How could a function like this be defined in Sublime Text editor, if it can be done at all, and then called to act upon the currently opened file?

Here are resources to write Sublime Text 2 plugins:

1. Sublime Text 2 API Reference
2. Sublime Text 2 Plugin Examples
3. How to run Sublime Text 2 commands
4. Setting up Sublime Text 2 Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

Example: you can write a similar plugin and bind a hot key to it, that is, batch_edit command. Then you can open a file and execute the command via that hot key. By the way, in this script, I didn't consider the file encoding. You can get the file encoding via self.view.encoding().

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import sublime, sublime_plugin

import re

class BatchEditCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        self._edit = edit
        self._replace_all(r"\?", "-")
        self._replace_all(u"Ä", "-")
        self._delete_line_with(r"Version of Light Ship")
        self._delete_line_with(r"Version of Data for Specific Regulations")
        self._replace_all(r"(\n\s*\n)+", "\n\n")

    def _get_file_content(self):
        return self.view.substr(sublime.Region(0, self.view.size()))

    def _update_file(self, doc):
        self.view.replace(self._edit, sublime.Region(0, self.view.size()), doc)

    def _replace_all(self, regex, replacement):
        doc = self._get_file_content()
        p = re.compile(regex, re.UNICODE)
        doc = re.sub(p, replacement, doc)
        self._update_file(doc)

    def _delete_line_with(self, regex):
        doc = self._get_file_content()
        lines = doc.splitlines()
        result = []
        for line in lines:
            if re.search(regex, line, re.UNICODE):
                continue
            result.append(line)
        line_ending = {
            "Windows" : "\r\n",
            "Unix"    : "\n",
            "CR"      : "\r"
        }[self.view.line_endings()]
        doc = line_ending.join(result)
        self._update_file(doc)
