>>> beta_code_replace.replace_beta_code(beta_code_str)
'προϋποτεταγμένων'
replace_beta_code(text)[source]

Replace method. Note: regex.subn() returns a tuple (new_string, number_of_subs_made).

>>> beta_code_replace = BetaCodeReplacer()
>>> beta_code_str = r"*XALDAI+KH\N"  # extra slash in ``\N`` only here for doctest
>>> beta_code_replace.replace_beta_code(beta_code_str)
'Χαλδαϊκὴν'
