How can I count a specific variable in Visual Studio code?

Question

Hi

I understand that we can search for a specific word / Variable in the VS2010 editor. For example, if I used a variable called (MyTest), and I want to count how many times I used this variable / word in lines of code (10000). If possible, how can we do this in the current form or read the word in all forms of the project?

Thank!

Answer 1

Assuming you don’t want to find “MyVariable”, press Ctrl+ Hand the Find / Replace dialog box will open. Enter "MyVariable" in the "Find what" field and again in the "Replace with" field. Set the scope of the "Current Document" and click the "Replace All" button. A message appears informing you to replace "xxx occurrences." "Where xxx is the number you are looking for.

Click the “cancel” button once if you want to return the document state to unchanged.
