Replace as in batch replace

Posted by alexis reigel on September 03, 2010

So I once again needed to replace several patterns in multiple files with something new... Instead of doing this all in my favorite text editor by using repeatedly find/replace, I decided that something more handy was needed. Of course I could have done all that replace stuff with xslt, but hey, who actually likes xslt.

The result of my disapproval of the above mentioned options is the Batch Replacer. As always it is released under the gpl. I also used git for the first time and published the source code on github.
