Automatic name replacemant

[DaGoblin]

So i have this long project and I want to replace something i defined (with #define) all over. The problem is that's its used so frequently that it can take hours if done manually.

I heard there is a faster way to do this, anyone heard of it?

Thanks in advance

Refactoring? Some IDEs come with refactoring tools which will let you replace one name with another.

Its not exactly what I was looking for. I don't want to change anything about the project efficiency or layout, i just want to change everwhere i wrote "ABC" to make it say "CBA" instead.

I mean, i expect the answer to be something like cnt+S or something but i couldn't find anything.
Not sure how to google this problem either.

Consider using the Edit->Replace command in your integrated development environment (IDE) or source code editor. Make sure to set the Whole Word and Match Case options. (Or uncheck Ignore Case option)

How is that any different than:

Wasn't sure what IDE meant and from the wiki page I got the impression its a program that does something deeper then scan and change text. My bad then.

I found the Edit->Replace command and it worked fine.
Thanks for your time guys. Saved me a few frustrating hours.
