$ map-replace --help
Usage: map-replace [options] <files>
Options:
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-m, --match <regex> Only replace in substrings that match <regex>
-f, --flags <flags> Regex flags (g is implied)
Takes a map of search strings to replacements from stdin and applies that to each
provided file.It was created as a companion to hash-filename, to update paths in static HTML and CSS files to their cache busted variants. hash-filename emits the JSON map.
$ map-replace --match "<[^>]+>" *.html < map.json
$ map-replace --match "url\([^)]+\)" *.css < map.jsonThe above only replaces inside HTML start tags (such as in attributes) and inside the url()
function in CSS. (Of course those regexes are not bullet proof, but good enough. KISS.)
