How to do a project-wide find and replace in Spacemacs?

Question

I'm trying to do a project-wide find/replace in Spacemacs. I tried this:

At this point Spacemacs tells me text is read-only. What am I missing to be able to preform the edit operation?

Use SPC p R to use projectile-replace which runs interactive query-replace on all files in the project.

Thanks for this. It might be worth noting, that the interactive find/replace wont save the buffers. It looks like we can use `SPC f S` to use `evil-write-all` for saving all unsaved buffers. – Alex Miller Jun 22 '18 at 17:51
This really helped me :D `sed` wasn't enough. Thanks! – Reut Sharabani Nov 04 '18 at 15:00
This was a life saver as I went to fix several imports across 70+ files lol. Thanks! – Vance Palacio Jan 16 '20 at 01:15

`SPC p %` does the same thing but has regex functionality included – Vance Palacio Feb 06 '20 at 00:49
