Android Studio Structural Search for all Toast statements in code

Question

How do I use Structural Search feature in Android Studio and search code lines similar to

    Toast.makeText(someContext, " some text "+someVariable, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

I tried the following but it does not match any toast statement

$Method$($Parameter$)

Where Method = Toast.makeText and $parameter is .* and any number of occurances upto 4

So, the resulting regex is `Toast.make(.*)`? And what is wrong with it? [It should match your string](https://regex101.com/r/WoQShj/1). — Wiktor Stribiżew, May 09 '18 at 07:21
@WiktorStribiżew Thanks, Find via regex does the thing - but I want to learn how "Structural Search" works. It does not match to the line. — xxx374562, May 09 '18 at 07:23
Ok, so you do not need a regex. I retagged the question with the `structural-search` tag. — Wiktor Stribiżew, May 09 '18 at 07:27

You can structural search for:

Toast.makeText($argument$)

with $argument$ min/max 0,4, text/regexp empty (empty is equivalent to .*)

Or if you want to find any Toast method:

Toast.$method$($argument$)
