Find and replace Android studio
AndroidAndroid StudioRefactoringRenamingAndroid Problem Overview
Is there a way to find and replace all occurrences of a word in an entire project( not just a single class using refactor -> rename) and also maintain case, either in android studio or using a command line script?
For example, Supplier has to go to Merchant, supplier -> merchant, SUPPLIER -> MERCHANT. My boss wants me to change all instances of supplier with merchant for a project im working on. Ive been doing it for about an hour and i know im wasting my time. Let me know of any time saving suggestions.

Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows and Linux/Ubuntu
Control+Shift+R on macOS (IntelliJ IDEA Classic keymap)
Cmd+Shift+R on macOS (macOS keymap)

If you use refactor->rename for the name of the file, everywhere the file is used in your project the refactor will replace it.
I have already rename variables, xml file, java file, multiple drawable and after the operation I could build directly without error.
Do a back-up of your project and try to see if it work for you.

I think the previous answers missed the most important (non-trivial) aspect of the OP's question, i.e., how to perform the search/replace in a "time saving" manner, meaning once, not three times, and "maintain case" originally present.
> On the pane, check "[X] Preserve Case" before clicking the Replace All button
This performs a case-aware "smart" replacement in one pass:
apple -> orange
Apple -> Orange
APPLE -> ORANGE
Also, for peace of mind, don't forget to check the code into the VCS before performing sweeping project-wide replacements.
