I want to replace all the dots -that are inside specific strings- by underscores. In my case, I'm using i18n (for translations) inside my application, and the keys are called using '$t(key)'. Key can be like that :
key = 'translationKey'
key = 'translationKey.subkey.subSubkey'
key = 'translationKey.subkey.one'
key = 'translationKey.subkey.zero'
key = 'translationKey.subkey.others'
In the $t context: I want to transform the dots (.) that are not followed by one or zero or others into underscore (_). If I have those inputs :
foo.toto.anything
$t('translationKey')
$t('translationKey.subkey.subSubkey')
$t('translationKey.subkey.one')
$t('translationKey.subkey.zero')
$t('translationKey.subkey.others')
Then the output will be :
foo.toto.anything
$t('translationKey')
$t('translationKey_subkey_subSubkey')
$t('translationKey_subkey.one')
$t('translationKey_subkey.zero')
$t('translationKey_subkey.others')
I'd like to use Vscode regex search to capture those dots and to replace them (if possible).
I only managed to get all the strings where the target dots are, but I can't reach only the dots. Here's the the regex I have atm: (\$|\.)t?t(c|p)?('(\w+\.?)*')
Thank you
You can use
(?<=\$t\('[^']*)\.(?!(?:one|zero|others)')(?=[^']*'\))
See the regex demo. Details:
(?<=\$t\('[^']*) - a positive lookbehind that requires $t(' and then any zero or more chars other than ' immediately to the left of the current location\. - a dot(?!(?:one|zero|others)') - a negative lookahead that fails the match if there are one', zero', or others' immediately to the right of the current location(?=[^']*'\)) - a positive lookahead that requires zero or more chars other than ' and then ').The following regular expression should work: it matches all the dots not followed by "one", "others", and "zero"
(?<=\$t\('[^']+)\.(?!one|others|zero)
