Copies a directory while replacing strings in files.

Mostly handy for creating "templates" for multi-tool projects (e.g. my GameMaker extensions often have a C++ or Haxe project and 3 GameMaker projects for different target versions).

copyre .../source_path .../destination_path [old name] [new name]

If old name or new name are not set, they default to name of the directory.

For example,

copyre D:/baseProject D:/newProject TemplateProject

This would copy all files from baseProject to newProject while replacing TemplateProject in files by newProject.

Directories may contain a .copyre file with additional overrides as pairs of lines, e.g.

old name 1
new name 1
old name 2
new name 2

New names can also be:

• ${newName}: target name (like newProject for example above)
• ${newname}: target name in lower-case (like newproject)
• ${NEWNAME}: target name in upper-case (like NEWPROJECT)
• ${new_guid}: a random lower-case GUID
• ${NEW_GUID}: a random upper-case GUID
