Hi, is anybody aware of a method to find every occurrence of a "variable name" in a document, and replace it with another "new variable name" in every formula/occurence?
We have the built-in "find" (CTRL+F), but as far as I know it cannot replace also.
Does any plugin offer this feature?
Thanks
Bye

There is F8 key for replacing variable when you are inside of a function, line, etc.
But there is not a global search and replace as far as I know.

As a "sm" file is essentially an XML file, you can open it with an intelligent text editor (notepad ++) and do all the replacements with a special command

Thanks Overlord, I forgot to mention that I was referring to global "environment" instead of local variables inside a function  Originally Posted by: PompelmoTell As a "sm" file is essentially an XML file, you can open it with an intelligent text editor (notepad ++) and do all the replacements with a special command
Thanks Sergio, I will give it a try, didn't think at this method

But this time it effects variable names, not just cosmetic. Regards

But this time it effects variable names, not just cosmetic. That's odd, nothing more than what you set as replacements should be added; I'll investigate it.

You can use regular expressions, like this:  The syntax means: SEARCH anything that starts (^) with (S) and a subscript (\.) and capture anything after it ((.*)) [parethesis are the "capture" group, the period means "any character" and the asterisk "zero or more times"; BTW the subscript symbol is escaped with \ because otherwise it means "any character" ) REPLACE with sigma (σ) a subscript (.) and the first of the captured strings ($1) This might be simplified or much more complicated depending on the cases (what is available on the worksheet and the patterns) More on regular expressions: C# Regular ExpressionsA nice tool to test patterns, with live preview: regex101.comEdited by user 13 October 2021 14:16:35(UTC)

OK Davide, that's more or less the goal I had in mind, I'll need some more study about the proposed notation but you put me on the right path, thank you.
