List variables in m-file

I would like to rename some variables in an m-file, and would like to automate this process. I have tried using regexprep, but ran into some problems. I noticed a feature in the newest versions of Matlab, where you can automatically rename variables. Is there a command line version of this functionality. Alternatively, what would be the best way of renaming the variables, without having to run the file?

Do you know the name of these variables a priori, or is it something that has to be detected by the program?
Yes, I have the names, but some variables are for instance N and NN, so I am not sure how to prevent NN from changing when I want to change N to AB for instance. NN will then become ABAB.

Example of replacing a variable in a string:
S = 'x^2 + 3*x*y + x1/x';
regexprep(S, '(?<![A-Za-z0-9_])x(?![A-Za-z0-9_])', 'YO')

Is there a reason why you didn't use \w in the look-around? Was it just to make the pattern more explicit for the example?
Hi Walter. That is exactly what I wanted. I have tried it, and it works. Thank you. That has made my day.
\w would likely be a good idea. I was thinking at the time that it matched a slightly different set of characters than was needed for MATLAB identifiers, but you are right that it is the same.
