replace(1)

Usage

Replace strings in input streams.

Either you can provide mappings via command line arguments,
for example like following:

  cat data.txt | replace --map "replace this" --to "With this"

You can chain as many '--map' and '--to' bindings as you want
as long as the same ammount of mappings as of replacements is
provided. The first mappings is replaced with the frist
replacement and so on.
You can also provide a JSON file as mapping which looks like
following, for example:

  {
    "Replace this": "With this"
  }
