Desktopfreeglobal

An intuitive find-and-replace CLI, sd uses JavaScript- and Python-style regular expressions and provides a string-literal mode to avoid backslash escaping. It addresses the quirks and platform differences of traditional stream editors, making bulk text substitutions easier for developers and sysadmins; the tool is open-source under the MIT license and maintained on GitHub.
