Python Script for File Manipulation and Random String Generation

This code block uses multiple built-in Python libraries such as os, re, sys, json, time, random, string, and hashlib to generate random strings, calculate MD5 hashes, read and replace file content, and pause execution.

Technology Stack : os, re, sys, json, time, random, string, hashlib
