Intelligent replace, ala Emacs? [message #144946] Sat, 25 March 2006 01:13 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
One thing I've always liked in Emacs is its "intelligent case replace"
feature, as part of search/replace. I haven't seen this in Eclipse. This
is just a suggestion for an enhancement, if it seems useful to you.

For instance, say I have the following strings in a file region:

foo
setFoo()
FOO

In Emacs, if I search for "foo" and have it replaced with "bar", it will
change those strings to:

bar
setBar()
BAR

If this feature is available somehow, and I've missed it, please point it
out to me.

Search first; if you don't find anything relevant, enter a new request.
