Instant MQ2DataVar conversion with Textpad

[Vexix]

Sick of searching through your code to replace all those @params with ${param} to convert to the new MQ2DataVars?

If you use TextPad (shareware available - http://www.textpad.com/) for editing your code -- and you should -- you can use the regular expression search and replace function to find every instance of all your @param variables and replace it with ${param}. All of them, no matter what the name. With one mouse click.

Of course, you still have to redo your /declare calls, and your arrays to make them compliant, but at least it saves all that manual labor of just adding } to the end of your variables.

Here's the code:

Use search and replace, and be sure to click on the checkbox for enabling regular expressions.

For the search string, use

Code: Select all

@\([^[:punct:] ]*\)

And for the replace string, use

Code: Select all

${\1}

Voila. All the seagulls you ever wanted.
