If for some reason I want to selectively convert camelCase named things to being underscore separated in vim, how could I go about doing so?
Currently I've found that I can do a search /s[a-z][A-Z] and record a macro to add an underscore and convert to lower case, but I'm curious as to if I can do it with something like :
%s/([a-z])([A-Z])/\1\u\2/gc
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I figured out the answer for camelCase (which is what I really needed), but can someone else answer how to change CamelCase to camel_case?
You might want to try out the Abolish plugin by Tim Pope. It provides a few shortcuts to coerce from one style to another. For example, starting with:
MixedCase
Typing crc [mnemonic: CoeRce to Camelcase] would give you:
mixedCase
Typing crs [mnemonic: CoeRce to Snake_case] would give you:
mixed_case
And typing crm [mnemonic: CoeRce to MixedCase] would take you back to:
MixedCase
If you also install repeat.vim, then you can repeat the coercion commands by pressing the dot key.
This is a bit long, but seems to do the job:
:%s/\<\u\|\l\u/\= join(split(tolower(submatch(0)), '\zs'), '_')/gc
I suppose I should have just kept trying for about 5 more minutes. Well... if anyone is curious:
%s/\(\l\)\(\u\)/\1\_\l\2/gc does the trick.
Actually, I realized this works for camelCase, but not CamelCase, which could also be useful for someone.
I whipped up a plugin that does this.
https://github.com/chiedojohn/vim-case-convert
To convert the case, select a block of text in visual mode and the enter one of the following (Self explanatory) :
:CamelToHyphen
:CamelToSnake
:HyphenToCamel
:HyphenToSnake
:SnakeToCamel
:SnakeToHyphen
To convert all occerences in your document then run one of the following commands:
:CamelToHyphenAll
:CamelToSnakeAll
:HyphenToCamelAll
:HyphenToSnakeAll
:SnakeToCamelAll
:SnakeToHyphen
Add a bang (eg. :CamelToHyphen!) to any of the above command to bypass the prompts before each conversion.
You may not want to do that though as the plugin wouldn't know the different between variables or other text in your file.
For the CamelCase case:%s#(\<\u\|\l)(\l+)(\u)#\l\1\2_\l\3#gc
Tip: the regex delimiters can be altered as in my example to make it (somewhat) more legible.
I have an API for various development oriented processing. Among other things, it provides a few functions for transforming names between (configurable) conventions (variable <-> attribute <-> getter <-> setter <-> constant <-> parameter <-> ...) and styles (camelcase (low/high) <-> underscores). These conversion functions have been wrapped into a plugin.
The plugin + API can be fetch from here: https://github.com/LucHermitte/lh-dev, for this names conversion task, it requires lh-vim-lib
It can be used the following way:
put the cursor on the symbol you want to rename
type :NameConvert + the type of conversion you wish (here : underscore). NB: this command supports auto-completion.
et voilà!

Lets say that I have a c++ class that contains two c strings like below.
class PathExample {
char* partA; // Eg: "/some/folder/"
char* partB; // Eg: "SomeFile.txt"
}
I can make an lldb summary string for it:
type summary add PathExample --summary-string "${var.partA}${var.partB}"
However this adds unnecessary and confusing quotes "/some/folder/""SomeFile.txt".
How can I format the type summary string to not use quotes, or at least append the strings before adding quotes? Eg: "/some/folder/SomeFile.txt"
"Remove leading or trailing quote in the summary value" before adding to the output is a not supported by the summary string formatting options. We're trying to keep those options fairly streamlined, and that's a bit too much of a special purpose feature.
The thing that allows us to keep the summary string version fairly restrained is that you can always write a Python summary, which allows you to format up the output in whatever way you like. There's an example that's somewhat like what you want in the section on Python scripting:
https://lldb.llvm.org/use/variable.html#python-scripting
You wouldn't use GetValueAsUnsigned as that example does. The C-string rendering of char * types is actually done by a built-in summary, so you would use "SBValue.GetSummary" to get the string value. That's actually the same thing that's substituted into the summary string so it also has the quotes on it. But in Python it's trivial to strip the leading and trailing quotes before concatenating the two strings.
Note, though it's convenient for playing around with, you don't have to define the Python summary callback inline as shown in the example. You can put a function with the correct signature in a .py file somewhere, use command script import <path to .py file> and then import it using the -F option to type summary add. Remember to use the full name of the function (module_name.func_name) when you specify it. I have a bunch of these in a ~/.lldb directory and command script import them in my ~/.lldbinit.
help type summary add has some more details on how to do this.
I am creating custom snippets for flutter/dart. My goal is to pull the file name (TM_FILENAME_BASE) remove all of the underscores and convert it to PascalCase (or camelCase).
Here is a link to what I have learned so far regarding regex and vscode's snippets.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets
I have been able to remove the underscores nicely with the following code
${TM_FILENAME_BASE/[\\_]/ /}
I can even make it all caps
${TM_FILENAME_BASE/(.*)/${1:/upcase}/}
However, it seems that I cannot do two steps at a time. I am not familiar with regex, this is just me fiddling around with this for the last couple of days.
If anyone could help out a fellow programmer just trying make coding simpler, it would be really appreciated!
I expect the output of "my_file_name" to be "MyFileName".
It's as easy as that: ${TM_FILENAME_BASE/(.*)/${1:/pascalcase}/}
For the camelCase version you mentioned, you can use:
${TM_FILENAME_BASE/(.*)/${1:/camelcase}/}
I tried for few hours to find the right syntax for making a regex query that returns reviews from 2-3 different projects but I failed and decided to crowdsource the task ;)
The search is documented at https://review.openstack.org/Documentation/user-search.html and mentions possible use of REGEX,... but it just didn't work.
Task: return all CRs from openstack-infra/gerritlib and openstack-infra/git-review projects from https://review.openstack.org
Doing it for one project works well project:openstack-infra/gerritlib
Ideally I would like to look for somethign like ^openstack-infra\/(gerritlib|git-review), or at least this is the standard regex syntax.
Still, I found impossible to use parentheses so far, every time I used them it stopped it from returning any results.
1) You don't need to escape the "/" character.
2) You need to use double quotes to make the parentheses work.
So the following search should work for you:
project:"^openstack-infra/(gerritlib|git-review)"
I've been trying out fnparse library written by Joshua Choi in Clojure and I'm having difficulties trying to work out how to call the rules on the text that I want to parse. I've been experimenting with cat which is part of the new release. Lets take the example code listed. Could anyone give me some ideas how I could call the rule on an expression?
Thank you!
thanks for trying out FnParse 3.
In general, you use the edu.arizona.fnparse/match form (as well as the complementary find, substitute, and substitute-1 forms) to use the rules that you create. Check their documentation strings.
Sorry about the confusion—I should have added an example of match in math.clj—but take a look at the bottom of the sample Clojure parser. Even though the Clojure parser uses FnParse Hound, match works the same way in both Cat and Hound.
I want to comment out lines in some code I have. I have different kinds of codes, and they use different comment leaders. E.g. in latex: '%', in Fortran 90: '!' and in python: '#'. I want to do a substitute command that looks something like this:
:g/<search-string>/s/^/<add-comment-leader-here>/
If this is possible, I could also make a command in Vim that automatically commented out the selected text. Something like this:
vmap <z> :'<,'>s/^/<add-comment-leader-here>/
Any ideas are welcome! :)
If you haven't seen it already, you may be interested in the NERD Commenter Vim plugin.
Check out Enhanced Commentify: I think this does what you want: it determines the comment leader based on the file type.
If you want to do it yourself, the easiest way would be to define a mapping that uses exec to build a command and include a variable that is set in your ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/c.vim and other ftplugin files. Alternatively, just add the same mapping (with a different leader) to each ftplugin file.
