IntelliJ IDEA Structural Replace

Question

Hopefully this is an easy one. I'm trying to convert bad coding standards to javadoc format.

I want to convert this line:

* Created by John.Smith on Jun 13, 2006 at 1:24:54 PM

To:

* @author John Smith

Any help?

Answer 1

I would suggest a plain regular expression find/replace:

Find: Created by (.*?) on .*$

Replace: @author $1
