Match a digit in Visual Studio with regular expressions

Question

How do I match a digit in Visual Studio?

My first guess is \d, but it is not working for me.

Second, is there a list of special characters in Visual Studio?

Answer 2

According to the MSDN docs for Visual Studio's regular expressions, it's :d.

There's also :z which matches one or more digits, i.e. used to match an integer.

And yes, VS regexes are bizarre.
