Hi Lukas. I'm sure for some of the more complicated refactoring tools, delineating whitespace between tokens is difficult or maybe even impossible, but I don't see why a renaming tool couldn't parse the source into an AST preserving whitespace tokens as they were, then simply performing search and replace on the relevant message send tokens, then outputting the the token sources. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
