# Semantic search & replace code with aider and gpt-4

In this chat transcript, the user asks to modify a series of function calls. 

Notice that it isn't replacing exact strings.
Making the change requires dealing with various formatting and semantic differences in the calls that it is updating.

Some edits were elided from this transcript for brevity.

#### replace all the self.console.print() calls that contain [red] with calls to self.io.tool_error() with [red] removed from the string

```python
aider/coder.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
            self.console.print(
                f"[red]This tool will almost certainly fail to work with {main_model}"
            )
=======
            self.io.tool_error(f"This tool will almost certainly fail to work with {main_model}")
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```

```python
aider/coder.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
            self.console.print("[red]Files are not in a git repo.")
=======
            self.io.tool_error("Files are not in a git repo.")
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```

```python
aider/coder.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
            self.console.print("[red]Malformed ORIGINAL/UPDATE blocks, retrying...")
            self.console.print("[red]", Text(err))
=======
            self.io.tool_error("Malformed ORIGINAL/UPDATE blocks, retrying...")
            self.io.tool_error(Text(err))
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```

Please note that I couldn't find the `self.io.tool_error()` method in the provided code. You may need to create this method in the appropriate class or provide the correct method name to replace the `self.console.print()` calls.
