`workbench.action.replaceInFiles` just opens the panels, it doesn't actually replace. Is that what you want? If you want to actually replace, this might help: https://stackoverflow.com/q/14177087/863110 – Mosh Feu Nov 16 '20 at 10:17

yes i want to replace. But since this feature in already in vscode i wonder if there is any way to invoke that method from within the code without opening panel. I want to pass the text to be replaced as argument and that will replace in all the files in the root folder. Thanks a lot for your help :) – cleanCodeEnthusiast Nov 16 '20 at 10:25

I don't you can use it as it's an internal implementation. So I believe the other answer can help.. – Mosh Feu Nov 16 '20 at 10:34
