Hey @anguswg-ucsb, first time contribution here!

just a few things, are you interested in contributions to this library? if so are you open to adopting a linting standard throughout the codebase? ( personal rec black )

Refactored & resolved # TODO: this is always 0 because we're removing the match

• Dynamically adjusts offset after modifications for precise match positioning. Resolved # TODO
• Utilizes single pass through matches.

Hello @jknndy

I am happy to take contributions, thanks for making a PR! Ill take a closer look at your PR this afternoon. I was planning on using black but I hadn't done so yet.

Ill take a look at your pull request this afternoon. The tiny bit I looked at the code change, looks like you cleared up a bit of hacky code I had in there. The only thing I need to double check is the make sure the use of -= in place of += is appropriate when calculating the new offset value for the string (i.e.):

# this:
offset += - (end - start)

# versus this:
offset -= - (end - start)

[jknndy]

# this:
offset += - (end - start)

# versus this:
offset -= - (end - start)

The original expression involved adding the length of the replacement string to the offset and then subtracting the length of the replaced substring (end - start) & the updated expression directly subtracts the length of the replaced substring from the offset.
