repren 0.3.10

Repren is a simple but flexible command-line tool for rewriting file contents
according to a set of regular expression patterns, and to rename or move files
according to patterns. Essentially, it is a general-purpose, brute-force text
file refactoring tool. For example, repren could rename all occurrences of
certain class and variable names in a set of Java source files, while
simultaneously renaming the Java files according to the same pattern. It’s more
powerful than usual options like perl -pie, rpl, or sed:

It can also rename files, including moving files and creating directories.
It supports fully expressive regular expression substitutions.
It performs group renamings, i.e. rename “foo” as “bar”, and “bar” as “foo”
at once, without requiring a temporary intermediate rename.
It is careful. It has a nondestructive mode, and prints clear stats on its
changes. It leaves backups. File operations are done atomically, so
interruptions never leave a previously existing file truncated or partly
edited.
It supports “magic” case-preserving renames that let you find and rename
identifiers with case variants (lowerCamel, UpperCamel, lower_underscore, and
UPPER_UNDERSCORE) consistently.
It has this nice documentaion!

If file paths are provided, repren replaces those files in place, leaving a
backup with extension “.orig”. If directory paths are provided, it applies
replacements recursively to all files in the supplied paths that are not in the
exclude pattern. If no arguments are supplied, it reads from stdin and writes
to stdout.
