# repgrep (rgr)
_An interactive replacer for `ripgrep`._
This is an interactive command line tool to make find and replacement easy.
It uses [`ripgrep`] to find, and then provides you with a simple interface to see
the replacements in real-time and conditionally replace matches.
Some features:
* ⚡ Super fast search results
* ✨ Interactive interface for selecting which matches should be replaced or not
* 🕶️ Live preview of the replacements
* 🧠 Replace using capturing groups (e.g., when using `/foo (\w+)/` replace with `bar $1`)
* 🦀 and more!
Supported file encodings:
* ASCII
* UTF8
* UTF16BE
* UTF16LE
Other encodings are possibly supported but untested at the moment.
See [this issue](https://github.com/acheronfail/repgrep/issues/12) for more information.
## Usage
After installing, just use `rgr` (think: `rg` + `replace`).
The arguments are:
```bash
rgr # See `rgr --help` for more details
```
Here's an example where we ran the command:
```bash
rgr -C5 dreamcast
```
And have entered the replacement `flycast`:
