replace-in-files-cli

Replace matching strings and regexes in files

Install

npm install --global replace-in-files-cli

Usage

$ replace-in-files --help

  Usage
    $ replace-in-files <files…>

  Options
    --regex           Regex pattern to find  (Can be set multiple times)
    --string          String to find  (Can be set multiple times)
    --replacement     Replacement string  (Required)
    --ignore-case     Search case-insensitively
    --no-glob         Disable globbing

  Examples
    $ replace-in-files --string='horse' --regex='unicorn|rainbow' --replacement='🦄' foo.md
    $ replace-in-files --regex='v\d+\.\d+\.\d+' --replacement=v$npm_package_version foo.css
    $ replace-in-files --string='blob' --replacement='blog' 'some/**/[gb]lob/*' '!some/glob/foo'

  You can use the same replacement patterns as with `String#replace()`, like `$&`.

Real-world use-case: Bumping version number in a file when publishing to npm

The regex should be JavaScript flavor.
