SnR Build Status

Simple search and replace through commandline tools (ack and perl).

Installation

Make sure perl is installed on your system. Ack itself is bundled with the project.

$ npm install -g snr

Usage

Commandline

Search for all console statements in all JavaScript files in the folders src/core and src/ext and stop the search after 100 items.

$ snr --max-result-count 100 --literal console "src/core/**/*.js" "src/ext/**/*.js"

Replace all these statements with hello:

$ snr --max-result-count 100 --literal --replace hello console "src/core/**/*.js" "src/ext/**/*.js"

Module

var snr = require('snr');

// Default options
var options = {
  maxResults: null,
  ignoreCase: false,
  literal: false,
  wordRegexp: false,
  context: null,
};

// Search and replace return a stream with the output
snr.search('my/file/glob/**/*.js', 'function', options).pipe(process.stdout);

// replace value
options.replace = '->';

snr.replace('my/file/glob/**/*.js', 'function', options).pipe(process.stdout);

Options

usage: snr [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILES OR DIRECTORIES OR GLOBS]
options:
    -i, --ignore-case       Ignore case distinctions in PATTERN.
    -Q, --literal           Quote all metacharacters; PATTERN is literal.
    --max-result-count=NUM  Stop after NUM results.
    --replace=REPlACE       Replace all matches with REPLACE.
    -h, --help              Print this help and exit.
    -v, --version           Print the current version.
    -C NUM, --context=NUM   Print NUM lines of output context.
    -w, --word-regexp       Force PATTERN to match only whole words.
    --color-lineno=COLOR    Set the color for filenames, matches, and line
                            numbers.

Globs

Simple Examples

Lets say you have the following project

|-- lib
|  |-- index.js
|  |-- hello_world.js
|-- index.html
|-- 404.html
|-- app.js
`-- gruntfile.coffee

then you can use globs to select files in this way:

  • All files ending in .js: **/*.js.
    • index.js
    • hello_world.js
    • app.js
  • All files ending in .html in the root folder: *.html
    • index.html
    • 404.html
  • All files in lib: lib/*.*
    • index.js
    • hello_world.js
  • All files ending in .html or .coffee: **/*{.html,.coffee}
    • index.html
    • 404.html
    • gruntfile.coffee
  • All files beginning with index: **/index*
    • index.js
    • index.html

Basic Rules

From man bash

Any character that appears in a pattern, other than the special pattern characters described below, matches itself. The NUL character may not occur in a pattern. A backslash escapes the following character; the escaping backslash is discarded when matching. The special pattern characters must be quoted if they are to be matched literally.

The special pattern characters have the following meanings:

  • * Matches any string, including the null string. When the globstar shell option is enabled, and * is used in a filename expansion context, two adjacent *s used as a single pattern will match all files and zero or more directories and subdirectories. If followed by a /, two adjacent *s will match only directories and subdirectories.

  • ? Matches any single character.

  • […] Matches any one of the enclosed characters. A pair of characters separated by a hyphen denotes a range expression; any character that sorts between those two characters, inclusive, using the current locale's collating sequence and character set, is matched. If the first character following the [ is a ! or a ^ then any character not enclosed is matched. A - may be matched by including it as the first or last character in the set. A ] may be matched by including it as the first character in the set.

    A character class matches any character belonging to that class. The word character class matches letters, digits, and the character _.

    Within [ and ], an equivalence class can be specified using the syntax [=c=], which matches all characters with the same collation weight (as defined by the current locale) as the character c.

    Within [ and ], the syntax .symbol. matches the collating symbol symbol.

  • ?(pattern-list) Matches zero or one occurrence of the given patterns.

  • *(pattern-list) Matches zero or more occurrences of the given patterns.

  • +(pattern-list) Matches one or more occurrences of the given patterns.

  • @(pattern-list) Matches one of the given patterns.

  • !(pattern-list) Matches anything except one of the given patterns.

Comparisons to other glob implementations

From the readme of node-glob.

While strict compliance with the existing standards is a worthwhile goal, some discrepancies exist between node-glob and other implementations, and are intentional.

If the pattern starts with a ! character, then it is negated. Multiple ! characters at the start of a pattern will negate the pattern multiple times.

If a pattern starts with #, then it is treated as a comment, and will not match anything. Use \# to match a literal # at the start of a line.

The double-star character ** is supported. This is supported in the manner of bsdglob and bash 4.1, where ** only has special significance if it is the only thing in a path part. That is, a/**/b will match a/x/y/b, but a/**b will not.
