thoughts of the driverSteinn Eldjarn Sigurdarson on tech, tel, digital freedom and possibly his life..

This took me like 10 minutes to get right. Just because of the slight differences between vim’s regexp and perl’s.

%s/context\["\([a-z]*\)"\]/context->\1/

However I need to this often when working with php, as more and more things seem to return stdClass objects (such as php5’s built-in json functions) and I always seem to write hundreds of lines of code assuming to use the formerly more common “smart arrays” of php. Syntactically though I must admit I much prefer the stdClass stuff.
