Project-Wide Search and Replace with Vim

There are many instances where you might want to perform a mass search and replace in Vim. The following are two commands that can help out with such a task.

List of Files

First you need to acquire a list of files in which you want to perform search and replaces on. The following Vim command args allows you to store a set of file names to act on later.

:args `<command which generates a file list>`

Thus we can use the following to store a list of files which match the 'Base::Lol::' . pattern.

	module ContentTypeMatchers
	extend RSpec::Matchers::DSL

	matcher :be_content_type do \|expected\|
	match do \|actual\|
	expect(actual.content_type).to eq(expected)
	end

	failure_message_for_should do \|actual\|
	%Q(expected that response content type "#{actual.header['Content-Type']}" would be "#{expected}")
