streplace is the abbreviation for 'string replace' - and this is exactly what it does.

Did you ever want to replace a string in binary files everywhere is occurs? Did you ever want to rename thousands of files at once in a special way and/or make everything uppercase/lowercase at the same time? Did you ever want to modify the contents of symbolic links consistently because you moved directories? Did you ever want to rename your C++ class across all your projects with a single command? Then streplace is for you!

• replace regular expressions
• reuse substrings of the regular expressions
• replace simple strings
• work on ASCII files
• work on binary files
• work on filenames (effectively renaming files and directories)
• work on the contents of symbolic links
• work recursively on directories
• replace the slash in filenames as if it was a normal character
• show what it would do without actually doing it
• show how the modified files will look like without actually modifying them
• be annoyingly slow sometimes
