I need to search all of my codebase for "Url" and replace it with "URL". If I search for Url in Visual Studio I also get all my variables with "Url" in it.
Anyone have a Regex I can use to only find Url within a quoted string e.g. "Use this Url:"?
Edit
I was looking looking for a quick and dirty way to find designer text and hard coded strings that had Url in the string and change them to URL.

To run a “whole words only” search using a regular expression, simply place the word between two word boundaries, as we did with ‹ \bcat\b ›. The first ‹ \b › requires the ‹ c › to occur at the very start of the string, or after a nonword character.
Ctrl + Shift + F – Find in Solution Sometimes you want to search across your entire solution. You can double-click each item in the “Find Results” window to navigate to that instance of the search term you searched for.
Vscode has a nice feature when using the search tool, it can search using regular expressions. You can click cmd+f (on a Mac, or ctrl+f on windows) to open the search tool, and then click cmd+option+r to enable regex search. Using this, you can find duplicate consecutive words easily in any document.
What I really ended up needing was:
("[^"]*Url[^"]*")
And thanks to the tip from tghw who pointed out the :q shortcut in Visual Studio equates to:
(("[^"]*")|('[^']*'))
I realized I needed to use the first portion to find only the double quoated strings I was looking for.
Both this regex and a standard find with 'Match case' and 'Match whole word' yielded results with some strings I was hoping to not find but eliminated the code with 'Url' in it.
