Global search and replace for VI
VIM Plugin for doing a search and replace across many files.
About this plugin
Original plugin by Yegappan Lakshmanan http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1813
Modifications by Yan Pritzker:
- Always grep recursive
- Silence the search so you don't get a gigantic scroll list
Usage
- Use :Gsearch
to get a buffer window of your search results - then you can make the replacements inside the buffer window using traditional tools (%s/foo/bar/)
- Invoke :Greplace to make your changes across all files. It will ask you interatively y/n/a - you can hit 'a' to do all.
- Save changes to all files with
:wall
(write all)
Customization
To customize command used for :Gsearch
you can update both the command and
the default options.
Note: updating grepprg
will have consequences on other
commands that rely on grep
