Structural search and replace

Last modified: 11 February 2024

A conventional search process does not take into account the syntax and semantics of the source code. Even if you use regular expressions, PyCharm still treats your code as a regular text. The structural search and replace (SSR) actions let you search for a particular code pattern or grammatical construct in your code considering your code structure.

PyCharm finds and replaces fragments of source code, based on the search templates that you create and conditions you apply.
