Performs exact string replacements in files.  Usage:- You must use your `Read` tool at least once in the conversation before editing. This tool will error if you attempt an edit without reading the file. - When editing text from Read tool output, ensure you preserve the exact indentation (tabs/spaces) as it appears AFTER the line number prefix. The line number prefix format is: spaces + line number + tab. Everything after that tab is the actual file content to match. Never include any part of the line number prefix in the oldString or newString.- ALWAYS prefer editing existing files in the codebase. NEVER write new files unless explicitly required.- Only use emojis if the user explicitly requests it. Avoid adding emojis to files unless asked.- The edit will FAIL if `oldString` is not found in the file with an error "oldString not found in content".- The edit will FAIL if `oldString` is found multiple times in the file with an error "oldString found multiple times and requires more code context to uniquely identify the intended match". Either provide a larger string with more surrounding context to make it unique or use `replaceAll` to change every instance of `oldString`. - Use `replaceAll` for replacing and renaming strings across the file. This parameter is useful if you want to rename a variable for instance.
