Search and Replace Guidelines

search_and_replace

<search_and_replace>
  <path>File path here</path>
  <operations>
    [{"search":"old_text","replace":"new_text","use_regex":true}]
  </operations>
</search_and_replace>

Required Parameters:

  • path: The file path to modify
  • operations: JSON array of search and replace operations

Each Operation Must Include:

  • search: The text to search for (REQUIRED)
  • replace: The text to replace with (REQUIRED)
  • use_regex: Boolean indicating whether to use regex (optional, defaults to false)

Common Errors to Avoid:

  • Missing search parameter
  • Missing replace parameter
  • Invalid JSON format in operations array
  • Attempting to modify non-existent files
  • Malformed regex patterns when use_regex is true

Best Practices:

  • Always include both search and replace parameters
  • Verify the file exists before attempting to modify it
  • Use apply_diff for complex changes instead
  • Test regex patterns separately before using them
  • Escape special characters in regex patterns
