Can a VSCode snippet make three substitutions? - visual-studio-code

Question

I have written a VSCode snippet that makes two substitutions to the clipboard content.
For instance, this snippet changes "a" characters into "x" and "e" characters into "y"
"t2": {
"prefix": "t2",
"body": [
"${CLIPBOARD/(a)|(e)/${1:?x:y}/g}"
],
"description": "Makes two substitutions to the clipboard"
},
Using this snippet, if I cut the text "This snippet changes the clipboard" and I execute the snippet, the pasted text is "This snippyt chxngys thy clipboxrd".
My question is: Is it possible to create a snippet that applies three substitutions? For instance, "a" into "x", "e" into "y" and "i" into "z", obtaining "Thzs snzppyt chxngys thy clzpboxrd" in the example above.

Answer 1

Yes, you can change as many as you want. I made this snippet for another answer:
"color conditional": {
"prefix": "_hex",
"body": [
"let color = '${1};",
"let hex = '${1/(white)|(black)|(red)/${1:+#fff}${2:+#000}${3:+#f00}/}';" //works
],
"description": "conditional color"
},
See vscode if/else conditions in user defined snippet.
for one example but in your case try:
"${CLIPBOARD/(a)|(e)|(i)/${1:+x}${2:+y}${3:+z}/g}"
instead of using the if/else conditional, you can use any number of if's.
