add repeat elements to tp_find_and_replace about galaxytools HOT 3 CLOSED

So you mean searching and replacing stuff in multiple files? But return on output?

from galaxytools.

What I mean is one input, but multiple replace operations. So e.g. input:

ABC DEF
99% pure Galaxy

replace operation one: ABC -> abc
replace operation two: 99% -> 100%

then output the results:

abc DEF
100% pure Galaxy

I guess with a repeat the processing would be still sequential within one job. Which is more efficient (but not necessarily faster) in the sense that the overhead of creating jobs is eliminated.

An alternative would be to use the definitions for the replacement from a file (one line corresponding to a replaceent). And then use split file to collection to parallelize this. In this way you can also control granularity.
