Basic usage

replacer [OPTIONS] PATTERN REPLACEMENT [FILES ...]

Note that internally, we’ll call Python with:

re.sub(<PATTERN>, <REPLACEMENT>, line)

for each line of every regular file found in the current working directory.

This means you can use fancy backward references with 1

  • By default hidden files, and files matching build-*, .git, .svn, *.py[co], *.[oa] , *.back, *~ , *.so, *.a will be ignored

  • If FILES is given, replacement will be performed on the files given as argument.

  • You can also specify --file-filter to specify a pattern to match against the filenames. For instance, to replace in every .c file, use:

    replacer spam eggs --file-filter '*.c'
  • You can create a backup for each modified file by using --backup

Advanced usage

See

replacer --help

for a full list of options
