You've been given a contract from a three letter abbreviation government agency. They want a program to automatically redact sensitive information from documents to be released to the public. They want fine control over what gets redacted though.

XXXX redacted is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Given a piece of free-form, possibly Unicode text, (assume text only, no markup or formatting codes) they want to be able to redact: whole words, (case sensitive or insensitive) or partial words, (case sensitive or insensitive). Further, they want the option to "overkill" redact a partial word. Overkill redact means if the word contains the redact target, even if is only part of the word, redact the entire word.

For our purposes, a "word" here, means: a character group, separated by white-space and possibly punctuation; not necessarily strictly alphabetic characters. To "redact" a word or partial word, replace each character in the redaction target with a capital letter 'X'. There should be the same number of graphemes in the final redacted word as there were in the non-redacted word.

Task

Write a procedure to "redact" a given piece of text. Your procedure should take the text (or a link to it), the redaction target (or a link to it) and the redaction options. It need not be a single routine, as long as there is some way to programmatically select which operation will be performed. It may be invoked from a command line or as an internal routine, but it should be separately invokable, not just a hard coded block.

The given strings are enclosed in square brackets to denote them. The brackets should not be counted as part of the strings.

Using the test string: [Tom? Toms bottom tomato is in his stomach while playing the "Tom-tom" brand tom-toms. That's so tom.]

Show the redacted sentence for each of the redaction target strings [Tom] & [tom] using the following options:

  • Whole word
  • Whole word, Case insensitive
  • Partial word
  • Partial word, Case insensitive
  • Partial word, Overkill
  • Partial word, Case insensitive, Overkill

Note that some combinations don't, or at least, shouldn't really differ from less specific combination. E.G. "Whole word, Overkill" should be theoretically be exactly the same as "Whole word".

Extra kudos for not including adjoining punctuation during "Overkill" redaction.

Extra kudos if the redaction target can contain non-letter characters.

The demo strings use the abbreviations w/p for whole/partial word, i/s for case insensitive/sensitive, n/o for normal/overkill. You are not required to use those, or any abbreviation. They are just for display, though may be useful to show what operation you are intending to perform.

Ideal expected output (adjoining punctuation untouched):

   Redact 'Tom':
   [w|s|n] XXX? Toms bottom tomato is in his stomach while playing the "Tom-tom" brand tom-toms. That's so tom.
   [w|i|n] XXX? Toms bottom tomato is in his stomach while playing the "Tom-tom" brand tom-toms. That's so XXX.
   [p|s|n] XXX? XXXs bottom tomato is in his stomach while playing the "XXX-tom" brand tom-toms. That's so tom.
   [p|i|n] XXX? XXXs botXXX XXXato is in his sXXXach while playing the "XXX-XXX" brand XXX-XXXs. That's so XXX.
   [p|s|o] XXX? XXXX bottom tomato is in his stomach while playing the "XXXXXXX" brand tom-toms. That's so tom.
   [p|i|o] XXX? XXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX is in his XXXXXXX while playing the "XXXXXXX" brand XXXXXXXX. That's so XXX.
   Redact 'tom':
   [w|s|n] Tom? Toms bottom tomato is in his stomach while playing the "Tom-tom" brand tom-toms. That's so XXX.
   [w|i|n] XXX? Toms bottom tomato is in his stomach while playing the "Tom-tom" brand tom-toms. That's so XXX.
   [p|s|n] Tom? Toms botXXX XXXato is in his sXXXach while playing the "Tom-XXX" brand XXX-XXXs. That's so XXX.
   [p|i|n] XXX? XXXs botXXX XXXato is in his sXXXach while playing the "XXX-XXX" brand XXX-XXXs. That's so XXX.
   [p|s|o] Tom? Toms XXXXXX XXXXXX is in his XXXXXXX while playing the "XXXXXXX" brand XXXXXXXX. That's so XXX.
   [p|i|o] XXX? XXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX is in his XXXXXXX while playing the "XXXXXXX" brand XXXXXXXX. That's so XXX.

Show the redacted strings when using the option "Whole word" (Case sensitivity shouldn't matter.) A single grapheme should be replaced by a single 'X'.

Vanilla (core language only)

The above uses ASObjC to take advantage of the Foundation framework's regex functions. But the core AppleScript language is itself perfectly capable of performing the task, albeit with somewhat more code. A fairly recent macOS version's needed for the grapheme characters to be recognised and handled satisfactorily (macOS 10.14's fine), but with plain text, the code below works on any system since Mac OS X 10.5. On macOS 10.14, it's about twice as fast as the ASObjC.

Uses non-portable GNU Ed extension for case-insensitive matching. The number of replacement lines has to be copy-pasted as many times as necessary for full replacement. Because, unlike sed, ed has no loops. Also note that the replacement is always three X-es, because ed has no way to customize the replacement length.

Go

Go has a problem with zero width joiner (ZWJ) emojis such as the final one in the test string which is not recognized as a single 'character' by the language as it consists of five Unicode code-points (or 'runes') instead of one. This problem is aggravated (as here) when one of the constituents of the ZWJ emoji happens to be a 'normal' emoji contained within the same test string!

Care is therefore needed to ensure that when a normal emoji is being redacted it doesn't also redact one of the constituents of a ZWJ emoji.

To get the number of 'X's right where a ZWJ emoji or other character combination is being replaced, a third party library function is used which counts the number of graphemes in a string, as required by the task.

This is using the normal definition of words, i.e. emoji do not form words or word boundaries, so the stretch assignment must be matched as a partial match. This solution parses the flags inline and takes the secret to be redacted as a parameter to illustrate both options, although in a production solution I would imagine one might pass both the same way.
