Summary

A command-line tool to perform bulk replacement of file names, folder names, and file contents within a specified directory.

How It Works

1. The script scans the specified directory recursively and finds all files and folders.
2. It replaces the occurrences of the replace pattern with the with pattern in the file contents, file names, and folder names.
3. The script supports using capture groups in the replacement pattern using double curly braces {{}}.

Installing

dart pub global activate df_bulk_replace

Uninstalling

dart pub global deactivate df_bulk_replace

Examples

# Basic replacment.
bulkreplace --input test --replace "foo" --with "bar"
bulkreplace -i test -r "bar" -w "foo"
bulkreplace -i test -r "replace_me" -w "vervang_my"
bulkreplace -i test -r "vervang_my" -w "replace_me" # change back
bulkreplace -i test -r "replace_me" -w "vervang_my" && bulkreplace -i test -r "vervang_my" -w "replace_me"

# Using handlebars.
bulkreplace -i test -r "replace_me_(\\w)_(\\w)_(\\w)" -w "replace_me_{{2}}_{{1}}_{{0}}" --no-file-names --no-folder-names

# Whitelisting or blacklisting files.
bulkreplace -i test -r "foo" -w "bar" --blacklisted-files "blacklist_me_1.txt, blacklist_me_2.txt"
bulkreplace -i test -r "foo" -w "bar" --whitelisted-files "whitelist_me_1.txt, whitelist_me_2.txt"

# Whitelisting or blacklisting folders.
bulkreplace -i test -r "foo" -w "bar" --blacklisted-folders "_blacklist_me" -v
bulkreplace -i test -r "foo" -w "bar" --whitelisted-folders "_whitelist_me" -v

# For those familiar with RegExp, you can use regular expressions and capture groups.
bulkreplace --i . --replace "my_project_template(.*)" --with "hello_world{{1}}"
