Hello,
how to set that the opening curly brace will be on new line?
The code actually is:
----abcde() {
-------- …
----}
I want this:
----abcde()
----{
--------…
----}
How to achieve this with a regex or using regReplace or by other tool?
Thank’s a lot!
Ps. every - is a space…
You can replace it using a regex. Press Ctrl + H and then check regex option. Enter these parameters:
Find What: (\r\n|\r|\n)([ \t]*)(.*?)[ \t]*{[ \t]*(?:\r\n|\r|\n)
Replace With: $1$2$3$1$2{$1
Then click Replace All and it should work. It also idents brace with tabs or spaces to match the rest of the code.
Hi, if I run it twice, it redo the action creating unespected newline before the opening {:
abcde() { ... }
become:
abcde() { ... }
and then:
abcde() // <-- newline { ... }
@user11111 You didn’t mention that you may run it twice. But, there is still a solution:
Find What: (\r\n|\r|\n)([ \t]*)(\S.*?)[ \t]*{[ \t]*(?:\r\n|\r|\n)
Replace With: $1$2$3$1$2{$1
It allows you to run it as many times as you want. All correctly placed braces will not be affected.
You also asked how to do it with RegReplace plugin. Well, I don’t use it. Why would you use it when it is easier to do it with native Sublime regex replacement function.
Thank’s a lot! It works fine and fast!
I need the regReplace version because I’ll use a keyboard shortcut to run the search&replace.
There is a way to do that by using the regex you suggested without modify it by shortcut?
Edit:
The solution for who are using regReplace is:
"find": "(\\r\\n|\\r|\\n)([ \\t]*)(\\S.*?)[ \\t]*{[ \\t]*(?:\\r\\n|\\r|\\n)"
"replace": "\\g<1>\\g<2>\\g<3>\\g<1>\\g<2>{\\g<1>"
