Sanitize replace regex #206

Closed mloubout closed 3 months ago

mloubout commented 3 months ago

Is there a way to make the --nbval-sanitize-with to use regex for the replacement as well, i.e something like

[regex1]
regex: \w+\(\d+\)
replace: d

currently I can only make it hard-code "d" which will obviously fail too.

The replacement uses re.sub(), so references like \1 should work.

Will it? The usual purpose for this sanitise mechanism is to replace things like timestamps with a fixed string such as TIMESTAMP.

I found a better way to fix my issue so it's fine, sorry for that.
