[Question] How can I search for a specific word?

How can I search for a specific word?

example of the code I want to change

NewTest; // This is what I want to change
raise ENewTest.Create; // I don't want this line to change

My config

 "replacerules.rules": {
        "find": {
            "find": "NewTest",
            "replace": "raise ENewTest.Create",
            "literal": true
        }
}

but it changes all the sites not only the word.

Outcome

raise ENewTest.Create;
raise Eraise ENewTest.Create.Create; 

As you can see, it hardly changes the search for the exact word.

how could i do it?

Hi,

Enclose the word you are looking for with the word boundary token \b and remove the literal flag:

"replacerules.rules": {
        "find": {
            "find": "\\bNewTest\\b",
            "replace": "raise ENewTest.Create"
        }
}

It worked perfectly.
Thank you!
