Question Replace all occurrences of strings with parentheses
Hi,
I tried to adapt bartus's solution to my problem, without success. I want to replace all the occurences of this:
Quote:
globalFunc(something)
with:
Quote:
something.memberFunc()
, where something can contain an arbitrary number of balanced parens and brakets.
Any ideas ?
Best,

You should post more detailed example - with more brackets.
