How do I use scan and replace of special characters

[dhfreinkel]

How do I do a scan and replace?

Example Array[x] to be Array(x).

The system hints at needing a leading / but it responds no matches.

@dhfreinkel Do you mean a scan and replace in RPGLE?

Like %scanrpl perhaps?

[chrjorgensen]

If you search using regular expression, you must specify \ before the [ and ] characters, which have special meaning in regex.

Oh. I see. @dhfreinkel means scan and replace inside of VS Code!

I use Ctrl F and then try to replace characters in the source code.

Are you doing this in that way?:

[dhfreinkel]

Yes, I used array[x]. I changed it to array(x).
