patch-text

Make multiple changes to a block of text by providing start and end indices and replacement text

Install

$ npm install --save patch-text

Usage

var patch = require('patch-text');
var text = 'Hello guys!'
var updated = patch(text, [
  {
    start: 0,
    end: 5,
    replacement: 'Hi'
  },
  {
    start: 7,
    end: 9,
    replacement: 'al'
  }
])
// => 'Hi gals!'

Your patches shouldn't overlap, but they can shrink or increase the character count and your patches will still apply to the right text.
