sad VS sd

also check out sad a more intuitively named sd that allows for fancy pipe input

If i were to write this in a faster language, it would be in Rust, since I already have a relativly successful CLI text edit tool written in it, and it's fast as fuck too.

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "sad"

Thanks, if you like it you can also try my batch text editor.

I wanted to like sd but it doesn't support my main use case of recursive search/replace. Imagine every time you wanted to grep some files you had to build a find+xargs+rg pipeline... it just takes me out of the flow too much. I'm glad people are posting other options here, I'm looking forward to trying them.

sd

https://github.com/chmln/sd ftw (sed rebuilt in rust, much easier imho) ;-)

sd is a more intuitive alternative to sed, focussing on making find and replace easier - which is all I ever used sed for.

If it's in multiple files? To be honest, I'd just use a terminal and sed (or sd if you want something with a more friendly interface).

I love the idea and I'll try it out, but a heads up in case the author is around: the name sd clashes with another tool [0], which works as an alternative to sed.

I use that one pretty often, so maybe my first managed script will be one which symlinks binaries :)

sd is a find-and-replace CLI, and you can use it as a replacement for sed and awk. It is way more user-friendly and modern. It is also magnitudes faster than sed.
