Minimal sed-like tool for text replacements using JS regex syntax.

Cause it's easier to reimplement sed than to remember its regex syntax.

## Usage

```

reg   

```

This maps directly to Javascript's `String.replace` function:

```javascript

var regex = new RegExp(, );

str.replace(regex, );

```

#### Examples

```bash

cat /etc/passwd | reg :.*

cat /etc/passwd | reg (.*?):.* "User: \$1"

```
