Assuming installation via NPM, you can use `gulp-replace-task` in your gulpfile like this:
```javascript
var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');
gulp.task('default', function () {
gulp
.src('src/index.html')
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: 'foo',
replacement: 'bar'
}
]
})
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
```
## Options
Supports all the applause [options](https://github.com/outaTiME/applause#options).

```
Gulpfile:
```javascript
var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');
gulp.task('default', function () {
gulp
.src('src/manifest.appcache')
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: 'timestamp',
replacement: Date.now()
}
]
})
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
```

Gulpfile:

var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');
var pkg = require('./package.json');
gulp.task('default', function () {
gulp
.src(['src/manifest.appcache', 'src/humans.txt'])
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: 'version',
replacement: pkg.version
},
{
match: 'timestamp',
replacement: Date.now()
}
]
})
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
```
### Cache busting
File `src/index.html`:
```html
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css?rel=@@timestamp">
<script src="/js/app.js?rel=@@timestamp"></script>
</head>
```
Gulpfile:
```javascript
var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');
gulp.task('default', function () {
gulp
.src('src/index.html')
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: 'timestamp',
replacement: Date.now()
}
]
})
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
```
### Include file
File `src/index.html`:
```html
<body>
@@include
</body>
```
Gulpfile:
```javascript
var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');
var fs = require('fs');
gulp.task('default', function () {
gulp
.src('src/index.html')
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: 'include',
replacement: fs.readFileSync('./includes/content.html', 'utf8')
}
]
})
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
```
### Regular expression
File `src/username.txt`:
```
John Smith
```
Gulpfile:
```javascript
var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');
gulp.task('default', function () {
gulp
.src('src/username.txt')
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: /(\w+)\s(\w+)/,
replacement: '$2, $1' // Replaces "John Smith" with "Smith, John"
}
]
})
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
```
### Lookup for `foo` instead of `@@foo`
Gulpfile:
```javascript
var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');
gulp.task('default', function () {
gulp
.src('src/foo.txt')
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: /foo/g, // Explicitly using a regexp
replacement: 'bar'
}
]
})
)
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: 'foo',
replacement: 'bar'
}
],
usePrefix: false // Using the option provided
})
)
.pipe(
replace({
patterns: [
{
match: 'foo',
replacement: 'bar'
}
],
prefix: '' // Removing the prefix manually
})
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));
});
```
