SR

Search and replace for the command line

It provides a productive way of replacing strings in files via command line, including the following features:

• Replace matches one by one, viewing the diff, and updating the diff each time a change is made to a file
• Use regular expressions, which accept matched groups in the replacements, using String.prototype.replace under the hood
• Preview already existing matches of the replacement text in case you want to make sure it is a new string

For more info, you can run:

sr --help

It requires Node v6.10 or higher

This package uses Node for everything, and it will be slower than other alternatives using C, Go, Rust, etc. The goal of this package is not maximize performance, but the features listed above. The speed in medium project sizes (less than 100k lines) is acceptable. PRs to improve the performance are always welcome.

This package is under active development. The package name is provisional and the API may have breaking changes
