$person = new Person;
$person->speak();
I’m trying to create a snippet for the above piece of code, when I type $person- and hit tab I want it to expand to $person->
So I need some sort of regular expression which will match anything before the -
Is that possible?
sounds to me like you want a keybinding and not a snippet, but if I understand right it only saves you from pressing one key? i.e. Tab instead of Shift+.
The ? in regex means the preceding character is an optional match. So something like this may work for you:
\$p?e?r?s?o?n?-?
It should match any of the following:
$
$p
$pe
$per
$pers
$perso
$person
$person-
