Idea find and replace with capture groups

Question

I'm trying to find

 @BindView($ResId) internal lateinit var $FieldName: $Class

And replace with

private val $FieldName by bindView<$Class>($ResId)

What's the syntax to do that with Intellij Find & Replace feature?

Answer 1

First, we have to activate the checkbox Regex in the Find & Replace bar if it should only affect the current file, or in the Replace in Path dialog for the whole project:

Using this regular expression with 3 capturing groups in the Find text field should work:

@BindView\((.*)\) internal lateinit var (.*): (.*)

Now we can use the variables $1 for $ResId, $2 for $FieldName and $3for $Class in the Replace text field:

private val $2 by bindView<$3>($1)
