Feature : dynamically rename a variable

(1/2) > >>

sleli:
Hello,

It should be nice I may use this feature because I have to apply coding standards upon variables, functions etc...

What I would like : Select a variable named "layer_id" and renamed it "AGS_LayerId" for example everywhere in my code. If it's a local variable, renamed it only into the appropriate function.

Is there anyway to do that efficiency with Code::Blocks ?

Thanks
Have a nice day.

Did you try the "Replace in Files" function under the "Search" menu?

Interesting idea, something I'd wish to have too sometimes. Unluckily the "only inside a function" thing means that there would have to be some considerable AS built into Code::Blocks, which currently isn't the case.

So... yes, "replace in files" sure works, but it's not precisely what you want.

Jan van den Borst:
Yes this would be very nice to have. In MS visual studio C# it can be done with refactor-->rename. The MS ide knows which vars to change and which not. Not an easy thing to implement (robustly)

I don't get this ... what is it exactly you would like to do?  If I want to change "MyVar" to "SomeOtherVar", then replace-in-files works perfectly fine for me.  If it's a really *really* complicated search-and-replace, I just load up an external editor that specializes in such things and do it there.  It's such a rare thing, I don't really mind doing it.

What am I not understanding?
