grep [-e|--regexp] [-k|--keys] [-v|--values] [-S|--shallow] [-n|--dry-run] [-y|--confirm] [-o|--output inline|diff] PATTERN REPLACE [PATH]
replace
works similarly to grep
, but has the ability to mutate data inside Vault. By default, confirmation is required before writing data. You may skip confirmation by using the -y
/--confirm
flags. Conversely, you may use the -n
/--dry-run
flags to skip both confirmation and any writes. Changes that would be made are presented in red (delete) and green (add) coloring.
To treat the search string as a regular-expression, add -e
or --regexp
to the command.
If PATH is not specified, the currently active path is taken.
If you do not desire a deep recursive search, you can use the -S
or --shallow
flag to limit searching to only the leaf nodes of the given path.
This command has two output formats available via the --output
flag:
inline
: A colorized inline format where deletions are in red background text and additions are in green background text. This is the default.diff
: A non-colorized format that prints changes in two lines prefixed with a-
for before and+
for after replacement. This is more useful for copying and pasting the result.
