fastmod: Replace for an exact string without prompt for a confirmation, printing changed files.

fastmod

$ fastmod --accept-all --print-changed-files --fixed-strings ${exact_string} ${replacement}

try on your machine

The command fastmod is being used with several options and arguments:

--accept-all: This option tells fastmod to automatically accept all changes without prompting for confirmation.
--print-changed-files: This option instructs fastmod to print the names of the files that have been modified.
--fixed-strings: This option indicates that the search string and replacement string to be provided are to be treated as exact and not interpreted as regular expressions.

The ${exact_string} is a placeholder for the actual string that you want to search for and replace. It should be replaced with the specific string you wish to find in the target files.

The ${replacement} is a placeholder for the actual string that will be used to replace the found occurrences of ${exact_string}. It should be substituted with the desired replacement string.

To summarize, the command is using fastmod to search for ${exact_string} in files, replacing it with ${replacement}, and then printing the names of the modified files. It accepts all changes without confirmation. The --fixed-strings option ensures that the search and replacement strings are treated as exact matches.
