Hello,
I have my system broken into about 30 include files now. Now I must
get around a problem that is one of the reasons I resisted using many
includes for so long --editing the same content across all includes.
Let's say that I decide I want to change the name of a variable to a
more descriptive name -- like RibSel to RibSelMenuOpen. If everything
is one file, I just search and replace every one. However, if the
locations are spread across some unknown number of my include files,
how do I manage to do this operation simply?
The task is made harder because the formula editor search dialog data
does not transfer to another open formula editor file. Currently I am
finding myself opening each include and pasting the search name over
again, and typing in the changed name again. Very time consuming
considering how many variables I change the names of after I get
something working. I make something work with short names then clean
up the final code with self documenting names when I can think of a
better name.
How do others solve this problem?
Best regards,
Dennis
