5.9.3.5 Dired Search & Replace (Search & Replace›) ¶
Search and replace in multiple marked files using the “/ Search & Replace›” menu (casual-dired-search-replace-tmenu) in casual-dired-tmenu. This will raise a menu of Dired commands that will work on marked files.
While most Dired commands use Emacs-style regular expression syntax ((elisp)Regular Expressions), there are commands that use grep-style regex syntax instead as it makes direct calls to grep. This syntax is dependent on the grep implementation that is installed and used by Emacs.
