Command line search and replace utility.

replace-x's Issues

Example of use inside code doesn't quite work

I tried to run the example below and didn't work:

var replace = require('replace-x');

replace({
    regex: 'foo',
    replacement: 'bar',
    paths: ['../test/File.txt']
});

I notice if you change to this works fine:

var replace = require('replace-x').default;

Feature request: literal "search" option

This is a very powerful and useful package. However, sometimes it is necessary to search for strings that require unpleasant amounts of escaping to make them valid as a regular expression.

Therefore, a simple feature request:

Offer a command line option --literal or something like that, which makes the search just for the exact literal string provided, not a regular expression.
