Interactive find and replace in the terminal

An interactive Find & Replace tool for the terminal

Features

• Provides the find/replace feature of GUI editors as a UI in the terminal
• Works across multiple files, and each can be handled individually
  • Search with a fixed string or regular expression, enter the replacement, then choose individually whether to replace each match
  • Can search only specific files by specifying a regular expression for file paths
• If a file changes after the search, replacements for that change are automatically excluded, and such cases are shown separately at the end
• Supports .gitignore and .ignore files
• Ignores hidden files by default; they can be included with the --hidden flag
• Regular expression capture groups can be used in the replacement string: search for (\d) - (\w+) and replace with (\(2) "\)1"
• Written in Rust. Binaries provided for Windows/Mac/Linux
