You can share a search template with your peers by exporting or importing it. After the search, we select Replace All to perform the replacing. In the Replace template field, we create a new variable $d$ and assign a Groovy script to it ( b.getText().toLowerCase()). We narrow our search only to these to class values ( Search target = b). In the Search template field, we create a template that searches for all p tags with uppercase values (. In the Find tool window, you can work with the results further, replacing found items one by one, or all of them at once, or previewing your potential changes.Ĭonsider the following example that converts uppercase values of the class attribute in p tags to lowercase. P圜harm displays the results in the Find tool window. Use static import- uses static import in replacement when possible.Īfter specifying the necessary options, click Find. Reformat- automatically formats the replaced code. Shorten fully-qualified names- replaces fully qualified class names with short names and imports. To narrow down your replace results, select the following options: In the filter area, depending on what you chose as a filter, specify the condition. If you need to add a filter for the variable in the replace template, place a caret at the variable of interest and use the filter area to manage filters. You can save the replace template the same way as the search one. In the Replace Structurally dialog, add new or existing templates to the search and replace template areas. Replace a target structurallyįrom the main menu, select Edit | Find | Replace Structurally.
Search target- you can select Complete match to match the exact template or other available code elements (in our case it is). Scope- specify where to search: in a project, module, directory, or within a custom scope. Specify the following options to further narrow the search:įile type- use the list to select, which file types should be a part of the search. In this example, set the following conditions: You can also add other conditions depending on your variable. If, for example, you need to add a regular expression, select Text. In the filter area, click to add a new condition.
Place the caret at the code variable and use the filter area to manage filters. You can edit the existing filters or add new conditions, for example, add some regular expressions, or a script constraint. The Structural Search dialog displays the selected template and the values of the filters used in the template. P圜harm instantly highlights the found code occurrences in the editor. In the list of existing templates, select html attribute value under XML /HTML.Ĭlick OK to return to the Structural Search dialog to work with the selected template. Let's find all the references to the style elements included into the tags of your HTML file. Use one of the existing templates to act as a prototype.Ĭlick, select Existing Templates to open the list of predefined templates, and select the appropriate one.Ĭonsider the following style definitions added to an HTML file: P圜harm adds the created template to the existing template list ( User Defined node) in the Existing Templates dialog.
In the editor area, enter the code template ( $variable$ that represents your code), click, and select Save Template to save it for future use. In the Structural Search dialog, do one of the following: In the Structural Search dialog, you can quickly switch to the Structural Replace dialog. Search for a target structurallyįrom the main menu, select Edit | Find | Search Structurally to open the Structural Search dialog. P圜harm finds and replaces fragments of source code, based on the search templates that you create and conditions you apply. The structural search and replace ( SSR) actions let you search for a particular code pattern or grammatical construct in your code considering your code structure.
Even if you use regular expressions, P圜harm still treats your code as a regular text. A conventional search process does not take into account the syntax and semantics of the source code.
