Using Visual Studio 2010 I would like to do a project level regular expression replace as below.
Find: #region {any string here}
Replace: #region - string from above -
I tried the below:
region\s'{[^]+}'
region '{[^]+}'
region {:q}
But the IDE complains about an incorrect pattern. How can I fix this?
How to enable VSCode regex replace. First, you need to press Ctrl + H on Windows and Linux, or ⌥⌘F on Mac to open up search and replace tool. In order to activate regex search and replace in VSCode, you have to click on the . * button near the input.
How to use RegEx with . replace in JavaScript. To use RegEx, the first argument of replace will be replaced with regex syntax, for example /regex/ . This syntax serves as a pattern where any parts of the string that match it will be replaced with the new substring.
You can find and replace text in the Visual Studio editor by using Find and Replace (Ctrl+F or Ctrl+H) or Find/Replace in Files (Ctrl+Shift+F or Ctrl+Shift+H). You can also find and replace only some instances of a pattern by using multi-caret selection.
In a specified input string, replaces all strings that match a specified regular expression with a specified replacement string. public: static System::String ^ Replace(System::String ^ input, System::String ^ pattern, System::String ^ replacement); C# Copy.
Ahhh, Visual Studio regexes... They shouldn't be called a regex since they diverge to much of what is "standard"
I fired up VS and after some trial and error this works:
search:
\#region \{{.*}\}
replace:
#region - \1 -
Try:
Search: {\#region:b+}{.*}
Replace: \1 - \2 -
If you're specifically searching for the '{' and '}',
Search: {\#region:b+}\{{.*}\}
With quotes:
Search: {\#region:b+}{'.*'}
To remove quotes:
Search: {\#region:b+}'{.*}'
