Replace some text in a bunch of files with golang

return err
}
if matched {

if err != nil {
panic(err)

//fmt.Println(string(read))
fmt.Println(path)

what is the 0 doing in the mode ?

I think the fileMode being 0 is just setting the permission bits, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28969455/golang-properly-instantiate-os-filemode

Asking, at line if !!fi.IsDir(), vscode give alert negating a boolean twice has no effect; is this a typo?. Is it correct? Or I can just replace with if fi.IsDir()? Thanks!
