sreplace

Command line program to replace strings in files.

This is a rewritting of an old project of mine, from C++ to rust.

Usage

```html Search for a pattern in a file and replace it by a string. Support UTF-8 encoding

Usage: sr [OPTIONS]

Arguments: The pattern to look for, string by default, may be a regular expression The replacement string The path to the file or directory

Options: -e, --regex Search pattern as a regular expression (slower) -t, --extension Replace only the files with the specified extension -d, --dry-run Do not modify any file, just print what would happen -v, --verbose... More output per occurrence -q, --quiet... Less output per occurrence -h, --help Print help ```
