DEFINE REGKEY_SETTINGS := "My Cool App\Settings"
DEFINE REGKEY_DEFAULTS := "My Cool App\Defaults"
etc.
Suppose you decide you want to put the application name in its own DEFINE and have all the existing DEFINEs refer to it. E.g.:
DEFINE MYAPP := "My Cool App"
DEFINE REGKEY_SETTINGS := MYAPP + "\Settings"
DEFINE REGKEY_DEFAULTS := MYAPP + "\Defaults"
Manually creating the new MYAPP DEFINE is easy. How can you use regular expressions to change all the existing DEFINEs that contain your application name?
