How to replace in all files rearranging variables (a1, b1) to (b1, a1) ?
I do not know what this would be called but I have a situation like this:
mysql_query($qryName, $db)
I need to change that to
mysqli_query($db, $qryName)
The thing is $qryName is different all throughout my project, is there a way to tell phpStorm to do the following?
FYI: I am using the find replace tool for this.
Text To Find:
mysql_query(*, $db)
Replace With:
mysqli_query($db, *)

just use regular expression mode for search and replace.
(do not forget to set 'Regular expression' check box in search dialog)
mysql_query\((.*), \$db\)
->
mysql_query(\\$db, $1)
What does the $1 mean?
$n is a reference to n-th capture group from search expression, just as stated in help for replace field for the search/replace dialog.
