Overview The Global Replace plugin allows you to search and replace a pattern across multiple files. The lines containing a specified pattern in multiple files are displayed in a buffer. You can edit the lines in this buffer and make the desired modifications to them. The plugin can then incorporate these changes back into the corresponding files interactively. The following commands are provided by this plugin: :Gsearch         Search for a given pattern in the specified group of                  files and display the matches in the replace buffer. :Gbuffersearch   Search for a given pattern in all the buffers                  in the Vim buffer list. :Gargsearch      Search for a given pattern in all the files in the                  Vim argument list. :Gqfopen         Use the results from the quickfix list. :Greplace        Incorporate the modifications from the replace buffer                  into the corresponding files. Refer to the greplace.txt help file for more information (available with the plugin). This plugin will run only on Vim version 7.0 and above.
