Comments on: Regular Expression to Replace System.out.println with Log4j http://www.weheartcode.com/2008/12/29/regular-expression-to-replace-systemoutprintln-with-log4j/ A discourse on programming Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:25:01 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Bill http://www.weheartcode.com/2008/12/29/regular-expression-to-replace-systemoutprintln-with-log4j/comment-page-1/#comment-27177 Bill Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:22:28 +0000 http://www.weheartcode.com/2008/12/29/regular-expression-to-replace-systemoutprintln-with-log4j/#comment-27177 Nice idea, but it does not account for the all to common case of: System.out.println(myClassName + "my quoted text" + myVar1 + myVar2 + myVarN); So I tried this: System\.out\.println\((.+\R?){0,5}\);$ which works fine... you ask why the {0,5}? because eclipse seems to choke on the greedier '+' implementation. Perhaps a limitation in Eclipse. Nice idea, but it does not account for the all to common case of:
System.out.println(myClassName + “my quoted text” +
myVar1 +
myVar2 +
myVarN);

So I tried this:
System\.out\.println\((.+\R?){0,5}\);$

which works fine… you ask why the {0,5}? because eclipse seems to choke on the greedier ‘+’ implementation. Perhaps a limitation in Eclipse.
