This article explores the features of VSCode, an open source code editor that makes coding easier and faster.

Vscode Replace All Matches

VSCode is one of the most popular code editors in the world. It has a great feature called Replace All Matches that makes it very easy to search and replace all matches of a certain string. Here's an example of how to use this feature.

First, open the file you want to search and replace in VSCode. Find the string you want to replace, and select it. Then, press Ctrl+H (Windows) or Cmd+H (MacOS) to open the Replace All Matches window.

In the window, type in the string you want to replace, and the string you want to replace it with. If you want to replace all occurrences of a certain string, you can use the * wildcard. For instance, if you wanted to replace all occurrences of `myVar` with `myNewVar`, you would type `myVar*` in the Find field and `myNewVar` in the Replace field.

Once you have your strings entered, click the Replace All button and VSCode will search the entire file and replace all matches with the new string. You can also use the Preview button to preview the results before replacing them.

VSCode also has a few options for more advanced searches. If you want to search through multiple files, you can use the Find in Files option. You can also use regular expressions in your search string. To do this, check the Use Regular Expression box before clicking Replace All.

// Replace all matches of "myVar" with "myNewVar"
const myVar = "foo";
let myNewVar = myVar.replace(/myVar/g, "myNewVar");
console.log(myNewVar); // Outputs "myNewVar"

VSCode's Replace All Matches feature is a great way to quickly search and replace large blocks of text. It's easy to use and can save you a lot of time when working with large files.
