I want to do some text substitutions but a bit more advanced than what
string.Template class can do. I addition to plain text substitution I
would like to be able to do some calculations:
$value+1 - If value is 16 this would insert 17 in the text. I would also
like to subtract.
$value+1w - In this case value would be a date, this would add a week to
that date, similar for year, month, hours. Also subtract.
The exact syntax isn't important.
In other words I would like to define
example1 = 12
example2 = 2020-12-15
and then some text:
Hello world $example1+10 and a date $example+1w
would result in
Hello world 22 and a date 2020-12-22
Is there some library that can do something like this?
I probably searching using the wrong keywords because I can't find
anything.
