Find and Replace

version: 0.1
2008-05-16
========

This is a utility I needed since I switched back to using VIM. I whipped
this up as quickly as I could. I tried using grep and sed, but I just 
couldn't get the hang of it. Plus, with sed, you can't modify the file 
inline (well, I couldn't figure out how).

Run far.py with no parameters for a help message. Both search and replace
strings are regular expressions.

It seems weird to have to specify the replace string before the search,
especially if you use back references, but it works how I need.
