replace string to string Gulp replace

I tried this code to replace foo by bar in my test.txt

var gulp = require('gulp');
var replace = require('gulp-replace-task');

gulp.task('default', function () {
gulp.src('test.txt')
.pipe(replace(
      'foo',
      'bar'
    ));

});

the content of my test.txt is 

hello foo

and the text still the same

It's because you are using gulp-replace-task instead of gulp-replace. They work quite a bit differently. You'll need to install gulp-replace and change your replace var to:

var replace = require('gulp-replace');

You'll also need to add:

.pipe(gulp.dest('build'));

You're missing the destination, here gulp.dest('.').

If you don't write the file, it'll only change in-memory, and so won't show up in the result.
