sd is a [[MIT License]] licensed search and replace string utility written in [[Rust]]. - Website - [Source](https://github.com/chmln/sd) - Documentation - AlternativeTo > QUOTE # Notability It is an attempt to create an alternative to [[sed]]. # Philosophy > While sed does a whole lot more, sd focuses on doing just one thing and doing it well. ru _Painless regular expressions._   `sd` uses regex syntax that you already know from JavaScript and Python. Forget about dealing with quirks of `sed` or `awk` - get productive immediately. _String-literal mode._   Non-regex find & replace. No more backslashes or remembering which characters are special and need to be escaped. _Easy to read, easy to write._   Find & replace expressions are split up, which makes them easy to read and write. No more messing with unclosed and escaped slashes. _Smart, common-sense defaults._   Defaults follow common sense and are tailored for typical daily use. # OS Support - [[Linux]] - [[MacOS]] - [[Windows]] # Features # Tips # References
