C++ What's the best way to change variable name in source?

[Togu]

I want to change all "SKILL_CLUB" into "SKILL_STRENGHT" in the source code, how can I do that efficiently?

Quick Replace tool? Manually?

if you are using sublime text you can use ctrl + shift + f to find SKILL_CLUB and replace to SKILL_STRENGHT

If you are using visual studio: Refactor rename in Visual Studio - Visual Studio

Thanks for the feedback, but I know that. What I want to know is if this is the best way to do that and if it will generate any error (like changing a SKILL_CLUB where it's not supposed to be changed, or changing anything else - even using the capital letter sensivity for the find & replace)

I'll try that!

if you change variable name on all coincidences there is not a problem, that's what refactor name option does on compilers
