I need to catch every instance of

​Here is one way to do it.


*on* mouseUp

*put* "getVal\([^)]+(?=\))" into theRegex

*put* "\0,dbtr" into smartReplaceText

*if* sunnyreplace( fld "f1", theRegex, smartReplaceText, outText) *then*

*put* outText into fld "f2"

*end* *if*

*end* mouseUp

​

​some sample input text in fld "F1" :

get getVal(a)

put getVal(a,b) into z

put getVal(a,b,c) && getVal(a,b,c) into y


and results in fld "f2":

get getVal(a,dbtr)

put getVal(a,b,dbtr) into z

put getVal(a,b,c,dbtr) && getVal(a,b,c,dbtr) into y


Is this what you are looking for?
