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

This works for a small number of files.

vim ` find . -type f `

:bufdo %s/pattern/replacement/gec | update
