I am trying to replace function calls written when methods were nonstatic to an updated version were they are.
For example: TABLE_foo(table1, …rest is the same
with
table1.foo(…rest is the same
This is what I have come up with using my limited understanding of regex and this site.
find:
TABLE_(*)\((*),
replace:
$2.$1(
The above yields a dangling meta character ‘*’ error. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Assuming Eclipse uses Java-style regexes, try using
TABLE_(.*)\((.*)as your find expression.*means “zero or more of the previous character”, and you did not have a previous character so it didn’t know what to look for. I inserted a.before them to indicate “any character”, but it may work better with[^)]*if it uses greedy matching.
