PLEASE BACKUP BEFORE APPLYING THIS SCRIPT TO A DIRECTORY
search-and-replace
This is a very simple tool that replaces, at the same time, directory names, file names, and file contents, based on a simple pattern.
Imagine that you have this project structure:
- RootProject/
- PREFIX1DIRECTORY/
- PREFIX1FILE.java
- SomeFile.js
- PREFIX1DIRECTORY/
And PREFIX1FILE.java content is:
asdasdasdasdasprefix1
PREFIX1
Something
Blablabla
If you run the following command:
sar RootProject/ "PREFIX1" "SomethingElse"
Your new project structure will be:
- RootProject/
- SomethingElseDIRECTORY/
- SomethingElseFILE.java
- SomeFile.js
- SomethingElseDIRECTORY/
And SomethingElseFILE.java content will be:
asdasdasdasdasSomethingElse
SomethingElse
Something
Blablabla
Important:
- When the character "/" is provided as a pattern, it will be replaced with "#" on file and directory names.
- The search for the old pattern is case insensitive in file's contents, and the new pattern is replaced exactly as provided.
