Description

The replace package ships a binary that follows deprecated MySQL's replace syntax. It's an alternative to sed which doesn't require you to remember the syntax. Usage is same as MySQL's replace program: replace [-s] [-v] from to [from to ...] [--] [files...] For example: replace foo bar -- test.txt cat test.txt | replace foo bar

Compatible with all RHEL-based distributions, including CentOS, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, Rocky Linux, etc.
