As I assume you're using a regex, you might consider catching this by
doing the search and replace in series. Here's an example:
1. Catch the 'OUString +?= ...createFromAscii...' case and replace
with 'OUString var( RTL...)'
search: OUString\s*\w+\s*\+?=\s*\S*createFromAscii\(\s*"([^"]*)"\s*\)
replace: $1 $2( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM( "$4" ))
2. Then go back for a second pass with something like this:
search: ::createFromAscii\(\s*"([^"]*)"\s*\)
replace: $1 $2( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM( "$4" ))
The solution isn't perfect, as it still misses certain edge cases, but
should at least help a little bit.
Forgive what might be a stupid question, but I've seen
String::createFromAscii
Will version 2 find those, and should they be replaced?
Not a stupid question at all. Regular expressions aren't the most
transparent of creatures.
As I wrote the regex, round 2 /will/ find those. Since I don't know if
those should be replaced, I assume that they shouldn't be, making this
"an edge case". The correct procedure then would be a "Replace and
Find" as opposed to "Replace All". This way one inspects every change
rather than blindly updating every occurrence.
Thanks for asking!

P.S. As an aside, I'll make a minor plug that learning regular
expressions makes possible or less mundane *many* tasks in the
programming or text processing world, and many editors have regular
expression support built-in. Vim, Emacs, jEdit, and Kate (among others)
have them by default, while gEdit (among others) has them available via
a plugin. If one doesn't know about them, one might be interested in
perusing http://www.regular-expressions.info/, or just generically googling.
