SAD (Space Age seD) is a Rust CLI tool for batch search-and-replace across files, showing a diff preview of proposed changes before committing them. It integrates with fzf for interactive selective replacement and supports diff colorizers like delta and diff-so-fancy.

Use cases

• batch find and replace across many files
• preview sed-like edits as a diff before applying
• interactively select which replacements to apply with fzf
• regex-based bulk text editing from the command line
• safe alternative to sed for large refactors

When to choose

• you want to review diffs before committing bulk edits
• you need interactive, selective replacement across a codebase
• you prefer a modern Rust tool over sed's in-place editing

When to avoid

• you need a simple one-liner in-place edit where sed suffices
• you don't want to install fzf for the interactive experience
• you need streaming edits on non-file input
