textben

textben is a command-line utility designed for manipulating text files. It offers a range of functionalities aimed at simplifying common text processing tasks. The tool is built with a focus on efficiency and ease of use, allowing users to perform operations directly from their terminal without the need for complex scripting languages.

The core features of textben include pattern matching, text replacement, and file merging. Users can specify patterns to search for within files and subsequently replace them with new text. This is particularly useful for tasks such as updating configuration files or correcting recurring errors in large datasets. The file merging capability enables the concatenation of multiple text files into a single output file, with options for controlling the order of merging.

textben is developed in Python and is distributed as an open-source project. Its command-line interface is designed to be intuitive, accepting arguments that define the desired operations and targets. Documentation is available to guide users through its various options and provide examples of common use cases. The project aims to be a lightweight yet powerful tool for developers, system administrators, and anyone who frequently works with text-based data.
