Question

I have lot of code in our solution like this:

Localization.Current.GetString("abc.def.gih.klm");

I want to replace it with:

Localization.Current.GetString("/abc/def/gih/klm");

the number of dots (.) is variable.

How can I do this in Visual Studio (2010)?

Edit: I want to replace strings in code (in VS 2010 editor), not when I run my application

Thank you very much

Misread your request.

If you press ctrl+shift h and put this as your find string

{Localization\.Current\.GetString\("[A-Za-z\/]+}(\.)

Then put this as your replace with:

\1/

And then in find options tick use regular expressions.

This will find the first dot and replace it. Clicking find next will get the second one etc. You will have to keep doing a replace all until they are all done. Someone can probably improve that!
