About:
Rpl is a command-line utility for finding and replacing text within files. It supports regular expressions and can process multiple files recursively in directories. The tool provides a safer alternative to sed for bulk text replacements with more intuitive options.
Key Features:
  • Regular expression support for complex pattern matching
  • Recursive directory processing capability
  • In-place file editing with backup options
  • Cross-platform compatibility
Use Cases:
  • Batch renaming files or updating configuration values across projects
  • Refactoring code by updating variable names or API endpoints
  • Migrating content between different formats or versions
Alternatives:
  • sed – sed is more universally available but has less intuitive syntax for complex replacements
  • perl – perl offers more power but requires more verbose syntax for simple find-and-replace tasks
