Hi Vitor, as a matter of fact, the infrastructure for doing what you're looking for is already there.
The algorithm is the following: - create a scope (something based on RBBrowserEnvironment, such as RBClassEnvironment or based on regexes and AND / OR operations: RBAndEnvironment, RBNotEnvironment, which allows for virtually anything, such as all #printString methods in the package X that do not belong to class Y) - create a refactoring command: if it is not a pre-existing command such as rename class, etc..., then writing a pattern matcher is possible with RBTreeRewriter. - execute the refactoring command on the environment, changing only for the subset of code visible in the environment. Normally, the system browser or the search tools should automatically setup the environment for you, and scope accordingly most of the refactoring commands. As far as I know, there isn't yet a shell giving you the full pattern matching rewrite power, but some work was underway (GUI tools). Going with the source files as you did also work...
