Detect profanity

Detect profanity in text using regex.

Args:
        text_data (list): A list of strings representing the text data to analyze.
        language (str, optional): The language used to detect profanity. Defaults to 'English'. Available languages include: All, Arabic, Czech, Danish, German, English, Esperanto, Persian, Finnish, Filipino, French, French (CA), Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Kabyle, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Klingon, Turkish, Chinese. If set to `None` and `custom_words_list` is provided, only the custom list will be used.
        custom_words_list (list[str], optional): A Python list of custom profanity words to detect. Defaults to `None`. If provided, these words will be used in addition to the selected language's wordlist, or exclusively if `language` is `None`.

Returns:
            list: A list of dictionaries where each dictionary represents a detected instance of profanity.

Raises:
            ValueError: If `language` is set to `None` and `custom_words_list` is not provided or is empty.
            Each dictionary contains the following keys:
            - "Line" (int): The line number where the profanity was detected.
            - "Column" (int): The column number (position in the line) where the profanity starts.
            - "Word" (str): The detected profanity word.
            - "Language" (str): Indicates the source of the profanity detection (e.g., "English", "Custom", or "Custom + English" if a custom list is combined with a language).

Remove profanity

Remove profanity from text data.

Args:
        text_data (list): A list of strings representing the text data to clean.
        output_file (str, optional): The file path to write the cleaned data. If None, cleaned data is not written to a file. Defaults to `None`.
        language (str, optional): The language for which to remove profanity. Defaults to 'English'. Available languages include: All, Arabic, Czech, Danish, German, English, Esperanto, Persian, Finnish, Filipino, French, French (CA), Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Kabyle, Korean, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Thai, Klingon, Turkish, Chinese. If set to `None` and `custom_words_list` is provided, only the custom list will be used.
        custom_words_list (list[str], optional): A Python list of custom profanity words to remove. Defaults to `None`. If provided, these words will be used in addition to the selected language's wordlist, or exclusively if `language` is `None`.

Returns:
        list: A list of strings representing the cleaned text data.

Raises:
            ValueError: If `language` is set to `None` and `custom_words_list` is not provided or is empty (as this function internally calls `load_profanity_words`).

Detect sensitive information

Args:
        text_data (list of str): A list of strings representing the text data to be analyzed.

Returns:
        list of tuple: A list of tuples containing detected sensitive information, each tuple representing (line number, column index, type, value).

Remove sensitive information

Args:
        text_data (list of str): A list of strings representing the text data to be cleaned.
        output_file (str, optional): Path to the output file where cleaned data will be saved.
        info_type (str or list of str, optional): One or more types of sensitive info to detect and remove.

Returns:
        list of str: A list of strings representing the cleaned text data.

Load custom profanity from file

Loads a custom list of profanity words from a text file.
