Dear Tutors,
I was wondering how one would make it so all the cases of all the
strings in a python file where switched. I know that
for individual strings, you can use .swapcase(), but I'm making a
program to edit others, so it would be easier to just do something at
the top that would switch all other strings.
This is (to me) vague. What do you mean by "at the top" and "all other
strings"?
Other than that I interpret: given a file xxx.py switch case of every
character in every character string in the file."
This requires reading the file into a string, then searching it for the
start of a string, the end of that string, then applying swapcase() to
to the string between the start and end delimiters the, writing out the
result.
Recall that string delimiters include " ' """ and ''' and that \" and \'
are escaped and therefore not delimiters.
Write a program that attempts to meet these requirements, show it to us,
tell us that is succeeds or where it fails and let's go from there.
