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.

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 If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Regex Search and Replace To install Regex Search and Replace, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install regex-search-replace ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
