How can I search and replace recursively in a directory in Vim?

Question

I found out about Vim\'s substitute command...

:%s/replaceme/replacement/gi

And vimgrep...

:vimgrep  /findme/gj  project/**/*.r         


        

Answer 1

args and argdo should do what you need, e.g.

:args spec/javascripts/**/*.* 
:argdo %s/foo/bar/g
