Question

I have classes with many, many empty methods called getFieldNameX or getFieldNameY (implementing a big interface for many columned linq to sql tables). I want to insert return values using find and replace.

This is that have

Function GetInsertedDate() as Date implements myInterface.getInsertedDate 

End Function

This is what I want:

Function GetInsertedDate() as Date implements myInterface.getInsertedDate 
    return me.insertedDate    //"return me." + method signature minus get
End Function

Is there any way to do this with find and replace?

Answer 1

Find: myInterface\.get{.+}\n\n

Replace: myInterface.get\1\n\treturn me.\1\n

Use: Regular expressions
