Replace - Modifies text and binary files by replacing data

FILE/A,PATTERN/K,FIND/K/A,REPLACE/K/A,TO/K,ALL/S,I=INSENSITIVE/S,VERBOSE/S,SIM=SIMULATE/S

FILE        - Directory or file pattern
PATTERN     - Pattern to be applied on files found with the FILE argument
FIND        - Text or binary data to be searched for, \xHH for hex data
REPLACE     - Text or binary data to replace every found data with, \xHH for hex data
TO          - Path to a directory to store the modified files into, TO cannot be
              the directory containing the source file
ALL         - Search for matching files recursively and modify original files,
              TO and ALL are mutually exclusive arguments
INSENSITIVE - All characters in found file data and PATTERN and will be lower
              cased before a compare operation, this also affects characters in
              hex data specified via "0x" in the PATTERN option
VERBOSE     - Shows all found files and how many patterns were modifed
SIMULATE    - The entire operation will only be simulated and no files get modified

Examples:

Scans all #?.readme files in T: and changes dogs to cats in the text:

Replace T:#?.readme FIND "Dog" REPLACE "Cat"

Scans the entire RAM: drive and replaces dogs to cats in all files ending with ".txt" and outputting detailed information of found files and the matches. Simulation is enabled, so no modification takes place:

Replace "RAM:#?" PATTERN "#?.txt" FIND "Dog" REPLACE "Cat" ALL VERBOSE SIM

Convert an IBM text to a modern one by replacing CR+LF (0x0D0A) with just LF (0x0A). Operation is performed in the byte mode, so FIND is two bytes and gets replaced by just one byte:

Replace "RAM:Windows.txt" FIND "\x0d\x0a" REPLACE "\x0a"
