This is a rewritting of an old project of mine, from C++ to rust.

Search for a pattern in a file and replace it by a string. Support UTF-8 encoding

Usage: sr [OPTIONS] <PATTERN> <REPLACEMENT> <PATH>

Arguments:
  <PATTERN>      The pattern to look for, string by default, may be a regular expression
  <REPLACEMENT>  The replacement string
  <PATH>         The path to the file or directory

Options:
  -e, --regex                  Search pattern as a regular expression (slower)
  -t, --extension <EXTENSION>  Replace only the files with the specified extension
  -d, --dry-run                Do not modify any file, just print what would happen
  -v, --verbose...             More output per occurrence
