| Folks,
I'm trying to use the File specific find/replace feature to replace some text using Regex. Now, I'm now regex expert, but I'm trying to do something which works in another IDE. Basically, I'm trying to transform a bunch of code that looks like:
@synthesize UIView *aView;
into
@synthesize aView = _aView;
My regex find is
\@synthesize\ .*\*(.*)\;
My replacement is:
@synthesize $1 = _$1\;
Either I'm doing something wrong or XCode doesn't recognize the $1 replacement parameter, because I end up with @synthesize $1 = _$1; Note that I copied and pasted this code into my other IDE and ran the same Regex find/replace, and it did what I wanted. That certainly doesn't mean XCode does it the same way, but I would appreciate any advice on how to get this to work, because I use this feature quite a lot.
Regards, Paul |
