Yesterday I had to perform the same regex file & replace on a bunch of files for the Nth time and it finally pushed me over the edge to make something I’ve wanted to make for years:
A simple syntax for writing sequences of find & replace operations as "scripts" you can apply to different files.
But I’m really struggling to figure out a good name. Help?
Looking for something short (ideally 4-5 chars).
Keywords: find, replace, transform, shell, script, batch
