Question

I have an overloaded method which have these signatures:

void Method(string a,string b);

void Method(string a,string b,string c);

void Method(string a,string b,string c,string d,string e);

What I want to do in Visual Studio IDE is to find all lines in the current project where Method is called with only less than 5 parameters (e.g. the first and second signatures in the example).
Is it possible to do this (or any plugin resharper etc. is able to that)

Answer 1

Try this regex in the find window:

(Method\(([:a:b]+,[:a:b]*)^1\))|(Method\(([:a:b]+,[:a:b]*)^2\))|(Method\(([:a:b]+,[:a:b]*)^3\))

It’s an OR basically of:

(Method\(([:a:b]+,[:a:b]*)^N\))

where N looks for N of alpha or whitespace followed by a comma
