Is it possible to detect and replace double quoted strings ? Ex: "use strict";

[cbdeveloper]

I guess my issue is related to double quote strings.

index.js

"use strict";

// REST OF THE FILE

I need to add a require() after the "use strict";, so it will become:

"use strict";
require("module-alias/register");

// REST OF THE FILE

I'm trying to enclose the double quotes with single quotes:

npx replace-in-files --string='"use strict";' --replacement='"use strict";\nrequire("module-alias/register");'

Is it something possible to do?

You simply need to escape the double quote with a slash.

Hi @cbdeveloper,

This is my case in package.json script working great :

"replace:config": "replace-in-files --regex='version=\\\"\\d+\\.\\d+\\.\\d+\\\"+' --replacement=version=\\\"$npm_package_version\\\" config.xml"
