You might be interested to have a look at Core::VariableManager, which is a class that was originally started to provide such kind of variable replacement. It's more or less a hash of (variablename, value) pairs plus a method "resolve" which performs (very simple) variable expansion. It's currently not used anywhere, and the design might be a bit too simple for some things, but it might be a good place to start from. Would be nice to somehow avoid myString.replace("${CURRENT_EDITOR}", editorManager->currentEditor()) all over the place ;) . And it would make it possible to do the variable expansion in a more intelligent way at all places where it's used then.
