#### Multi-threaded regex search-and-replace with diff preview and .bak undo

Regex Search and Replace is an independent multi-threaded developer search
and batch replacement tool for Linux source trees, inspired by classic
grepWin workflows.

Key Features:

* Multi-Threaded RegEx and Literal Search: scan source trees across folders
  with wildcard file masks, excluded directory filters, size/date limits,
  case sensitivity, dot-matches-newline, multiline, whole-word matching,
  and automatic NUL-byte binary file skipping.
* Side-by-Side Dry-Run Diff Preview: inspect matched lines with detected
  file encoding, line numbers, match counts, and highlighted Old vs New
  replaced lines before modifying any file on disk.
* Safe Batch Replace and 1-Click Rollback: execute multi-file replacements
  with automatic .bak backup creation and 1-click Undo/Restore rollback,
  plus cleanup for verified backups.
* Saved Presets and Hit Statistics: save named regex/replace presets in
  JSON, view hit breakdowns by file extension, and export CSV or TXT reports.
* Bilingual English and Vietnamese interface with instant runtime switching.

Disclaimer: This project is an independent open-source tool and is not
affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by grepWin authors.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Regex Search and Replace

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
