repgrep: An interactive replacer for ripgrep.

This is an interactive command line tool to make find and replacement easy. It uses [ripgrep] to find, and then provides you with a simple interface to see the replacements in real-time and conditionally replace matches.

Supported file encodings:

• ASCII
• UTF8
• UTF16BE
• UTF16LE

Other encodings are possibly supported but untested at the moment. See this issue for more information.

Usage

After installing, just use rgr (think: rg + replace).

The arguments are:

bash rgr <rg arguments> # See `rgr --help` for more details

Here's an example where we ran the command:

bash rgr -C5 dreamcast

And have entered the replacement flycast:
