Overview The Global Replace plugin allows you to search and replace a pattern across multiple files and buffers. To search and replace a pattern in multiple files, you invoke a command supplied by this plugin with the search pattern. The plugin displays the lines containing the specified pattern in one or more specified files in a Vim buffer. You can use the Vim editing commands to make modifications to this buffer. To incorporate the changes back to the corresponding files, you now invoke a plugin command. This plugin allows you to make multiple modifications across several files in a single pass. This plugin will run only on Vim 7.0 and above. Refer to the greplace.txt help file for more information (available with the plugin). The github repository for this plugin is at https://github.com/yegappan/greplace

Unzip the files into the $HOME/.vim or the $HOME/vimfiles or the    $VIM/vimfiles directory.  After this step, you should have the following    files (the directory structure should be preserved): plugin/greplace.vim - global replace command definitions autoload/greplace.vim - autoloaded global replace plugin file doc/greplace.txt    - documentation (help) file 3. Change to the $HOME/.vim/doc or $HOME/vimfiles/doc or $VIM/vimfiles/doc    directory, start Vim and run the ":helptags ." command to process the    help file. Without this step, you cannot jump to the help topics. 4. Restart Vim.
