Re: Best possible plugin/tool for multiple files search/replace in gVim (windows)

Dear Swapnil,

as with some things in Vim,
accomplishing this task with standard Vim functions seems at first
somewhat tricky.
But Vim actually has everything you need to do a project wide search
and replace.
Once you'll have understood how to accomplish this you'll see,
that actually can do many more fancy things in the same manner.

Basically you just make use of the
:args and :argdo commands.

There could be no better explanation for this than the one Drew Neil gives here:

Take 6 and a half minutes of your time and enjoy his excellent screencast.

Kind regards and Cheers!
