replace

Small CLI utility that simplifies sed 's/expr/replace/g'.

Usage

The basic usage of replace is:

replace expr:replace [filename]

Let's imagine that we have the following text file called quote.txt:

Make it correct, make it clear, make it concise, make it fast. In that order.
- Wes Dyer

We cat use replace directly by providing it the filename:

$ replace correct:perfect quote.txt
Make it perfect, make it clear, make it concise, make it fast. In that order.
- Wes Dyer

replace also works with pipes:

$ cat quote.txt | replace correct:perfect
Make it perfect, make it clear, make it concise, make it fast. In that order.
- Wes Dyer

replace currently supports only one pattern.
