Visual Studio Search and Replace Line Endings

Question

In Visual Studio 2015 I want to add text to the end of every line of a selected block of text. The regex approach I'm using is almost working, but not quite.

Here is sample code I want to modify:

public string nameOfGeometry public string color public string density 

All three of the above lines need to end either with a semicolon, or perhaps auto-implemented properties. Here is what I tried:

1. Select all the text I want changed, and press ctrl-h.
2. Toggle "on" regular exressions
3. Enter $ as my regular expression
4. Enter {get; set;} as my replacement text

This does exactly what I want, except that it insert a carriage-return (CRLF) between the $ and the replacement text. In other words, my example shown above transforms into this:

public string nameOfGeometry {get; set;} public string color {get; set;} public string density {get; set;} 

How do I accomplish this, without the CRLF being added?

Answer 1

I did this and it works

Find: ([^\r\n]+)
Replace: $1 {get;set;}

Also
Find: \r\n
Replace: {get;set;}\r\n

But still I have no idea why it has to be this hard. Still looking for someone come up with simpler solution.

Answer 2

I couldn't come up with some thing more easier than this

Find this .. \r\n and replace it with {get;set;}\r\n
