I have multiple occurrences of
AppLocalizations.of(context).translate('WORDING_STR')
in my code, that I would like to change to
LocaleKeys.WORDING_STR.tr()
Is it possible to do it with regular expressions, so I can keep whatever is in the code as WORDING_STR?
example:
Replace AppLocalizations.of(context).translate('finish_status') to LocaleKeys.finish_status.tr()
In VSCode, try this regex to find the occurrences:
AppLocalizations\.of\(context\)\.translate\('(\w+)'\)
And this one to replace:
LocaleKeys.$1.tr()
Explanation
\w means match a word character only. And because it's wrapped around parens it creates a capturing group that we can back-reference with $1 to use the captured word in the first group to replace the text. Check it out on https://regex101.com/ to get a detailed explanation of all kinds of regexes.

Thanks @lepsch for solution to my question.
added, In my case I found that i had prettier in my vscode that format my code like this
AppLocalizations.of(context)
.translate('WORDING_STR')
The solution is add whitespace [\s\n] in regex so the result will still match the case
AppLocalizations\.of\(context\)+[\s\n]+\.translate\('(\w+)'\)
The Result:
But unfortunately this will make mess if i had code like this:
