I have a lot of old code that is not standardized in it naming procedures. Some variables and functions use underlines, e.g., my_function. I'd like to be able to scan the file and convert to myFunction. Does anyone have tools like that? I started to write some code but realized its complicated. You don't want to change names that refer to functions outside the scope of the file. So before going much further, I thought I should check with the community.

You might look for FDEP on the file exchange to help you determine which function names refer to functions outside the scope of the file.

Dear Iram,

Although the source code will look more standardized afterwards, automatical renaming is a common source of ugly bugs.
So if you really think it is worth to a change running program, check carefully if any of the new names overlap with existing other symbols or function names. Better check it twice.
