+VThis algorithm is made to perform powerfull batch search and replace operations inside a string.\u000a\u000aThe user passes a string to be modified, and a string representation of a Python dictionnary with keys as strings to search and values as keys to replace.\u000a\u000aWhen running the algorithm, the following example input string and dictionnary is proposed by default to help the user understand the concept:\u000a\u000ainput string = "John has a blue car."\u000aReplace dictionnary =  {"John": "Mary", "blue": "red", "car": "bike"}\u000aGenerated output = "Mary has a red bike."\u000a\u000a\u000a

+VA string representation of a Python dictionnary. \u000a\u000aSimple example :  {"John": "Mary", "blue": "red"}\u000awill replace all the occurences of "John" by "Mary" and all the blue by "red" .\u000a\u000aThe Python module "re" is used to give the power of regular expressions. So you can use complex search string and replace string with regexp syntax. The following example shows how to parse a date :\u000a\u000ainput = "2014-03-27"\u000areplace dictionnary = {r"([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{2})-([0-9]{2})" :  r"\u005c3/\u005c2/\u005c1" }\u000aoutput = "27/03/2014"\u000a

+VIf True, the search and replace will be case insensitive. Which means that if you search "Bob" and want to replace it with "John", all the "bob" or "boB" will also be replaced.
