Regular Expressions (Visual Studio)

Regular expressions are a concise and flexible notation for finding and replacing patterns of text. A specific set of regular expressions can be used in the Find what field of the Visual Studio Find and Replace Window.

To enable the use of regular expressions in the Find what field during Quick Find, Find in Files, Quick Replace, or Replace in Files operations, select the Use option under Find Options and choose Regular expressions.

The triangular Expression Builder button next to the Find what field then becomes available. Click this button to display a list of the most commonly used regular expressions. When you choose any item from the Expression Builder, it is inserted into the Find what string.

Note

There are syntax differences between the regular expressions that can be used in Find what strings and those that are valid in .NET Framework programming. For example, in Find and Replace, the braces notation {} is used for tagged expressions. So the expression zo{1} matches all occurrences of zo followed by the tag 1, as in Alonzo1 and Gonzo1. But within the .NET Framework, the notation {} is used for quantifiers. So the expression zo{1} matches all occurrences of z followed by exactly one o, as in zone but not in zoo.

Regular Expressions for Find and Replace

Here are the regular expressions available in the Expression Builder.

Expression	Syntax	Description
Any character	.	Matches any single character except a line break.
Zero or more	*	Matches zero or more occurrences of the preceding expression, making all possible matches.
One or more	+	Matches at least one occurrence of the preceding expression.
Beginning of line	^	Anchors the match string to the beginning of a line.
End of line	$	Anchors the match string to the end of a line.
Beginning of word	<	Matches only when a word begins at this point in the text.
End of word	>	Matches only when a word ends at this point in the text.
Line break	\n	Matches a platform-independent line break. In a Replace expression, inserts a line break.
Any one character in the set	[]	Matches any one of the characters within the []. To specify a range of characters, list the starting and ending character separated by a dash (-), as in [a-z].
Any one character not in the set	[^...]	Matches any character not in the set of characters following the ^.
Or	|	Matches either the expression before or the one after the OR symbol (|). Mostly used within a group. For example, (sponge|mud) bath matches "sponge bath" and "mud bath."
Escape	\	Matches the character that follows the backslash (\) as a literal. This allows you to find the characters used in regular expression notation, such as { and ^. For example, \^ Searches for the ^ character.
Tagged expression	{}	Matches text tagged with the enclosed expression.
C/C++ Identifier	:i	Matches the expression ([a-zA-Z_$][a-zA-Z0-9_$]*).
Quoted string	:q	Matches the expression (("[^"]*")|('[^']*')).
Space or Tab	:b	Matches either space or tab characters.
Integer	:z	Matches the expression ([0-9]+).

The list of all regular expressions that are valid in Find and Replace operations is longer than can be displayed in the Expression Builder. You can also insert any of the following regular expressions into a Find what string:

Expression	Syntax	Description
Minimal — zero or more	@	Matches zero or more occurrences of the preceding expression, matching as few characters as possible.
Minimal — one or more	#	Matches one or more occurrences of the preceding expression, matching as few characters as possible.
Repeat n times	^n	Matches n occurrences of the preceding expression. For example, [0-9]^4 matches any 4-digit sequence.
Grouping	()	Allows you to group a set of expressions together. If you want to search for two different expressions in a single search, you can use the Grouping expression to combine them. For example, if you want to search for - [a-z][1-3] or - [1-10][a-z], you would combine them: ([a-z][1-3]) | ([1-10][a-z]).
nth tagged text	\n	In a Find or Replace expression, indicates the text matched by the nth tagged expression, where n is a number from 1 to 9. In a Replace expression, \0 inserts the entire matched text.
Right-justified field	\(w,n)	In a Replace expression, right-justifies the nth tagged expression in a field at least w characters wide.
Left-justified field	\(-w,n)	In a Replace expression, left-justifies the nth tagged expression in a field at least w characters wide.
Prevent match	~(X)	Prevents a match when X appears at this point in the expression. For example, real~(ity) matches the "real" in "realty" and "really," but not the "real" in "reality."
Alphanumeric character	:a	Matches the expression ([a-zA-Z0-9]).
Alphabetic character	:c	Matches the expression ([a-zA-Z]).
Decimal digit	:d	Matches the expression ([0-9]).
Hexadecimal digit	:h	Matches the expression ([0-9a-fA-F]+).
Rational number	:n	Matches the expression (([0-9]+.[0-9]*)|([0-9]*.[0-9]+)|([0-9]+)).
Alphabetic string	:w	Matches the expression ([a-zA-Z]+).
Escape	\e	Unicode U+001B.
Bell	\g	Unicode U+0007.
Backspace	\h	Unicode U+0008.
Tab	\t	Matches a tab character, Unicode U+0009.
Unicode character	\x#### or \u####	Matches a character given by Unicode value where #### is hexadecimal digits. You can specify a character outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (that is, a surrogate) with the ISO 10646 code point or with two Unicode code points giving the values of the surrogate pair.

The following table lists the syntax for matching by standard Unicode character properties. The two-letter abbreviation is the same as listed in the Unicode character properties database. These may be specified as part of a character set. For example, the expression [:Nd:Nl:No] matches any kind of digit.

Expression	Syntax	Description
Uppercase letter	:Lu	Matches any one capital letter. For example, :Luhe matches "The" but not "the".
Lowercase letter	:Ll	Matches any one lower case letter. For example, :Llhe matches "the" but not "The".
Title case letter	:Lt	Matches characters that combine an uppercase letter with a lowercase letter, such as Nj and Dz.
Modifier letter	:Lm	Matches letters or punctuation, such as commas, cross accents, and double prime, used to indicate modifications to the preceding letter.
Other letter	:Lo	Matches other letters, such as gothic letter ahsa.
Decimal digit	:Nd	Matches decimal digits such as 0-9 and their full-width equivalents.
Letter digit	:Nl	Matches letter digits such as roman numerals and ideographic number zero.
Other digit	:No	Matches other digits such as old italic number one.
Open punctuation	:Ps	Matches opening punctuation such as open brackets and braces.
Close punctuation	:Pe	Matches closing punctuation such as closing brackets and braces.
Initial quote punctuation	:Pi	Matches initial double quotation marks.
Final quote punctuation	:Pf	Matches single quotation marks and ending double quotation marks.
Dash punctuation	:Pd	Matches the dash mark.
Connector punctuation	:Pc	Matches the underscore or underline mark.
Other punctuation	:Po	Matches (,), ?, ", !, @, #, %, &, *, \, (:), (;), ', and /.
Space separator	:Zs	Matches blanks.
Line separator	:Zl	Matches the Unicode character U+2028.
Paragraph separator	:Zp	Matches the Unicode character U+2029.
Non-spacing mark	:Mn	Matches non-spacing marks.
Combining mark	:Mc	Matches combining marks.
Enclosing mark	:Me	Matches enclosing marks.
Math symbol	:Sm	Matches +, =, ~, |, <, and >.

what sense does [1-10][a-z] make?

fomar | Edit | Show History

Please Wait

just to make clear: In the example for Grouping above you use the expression [1-10]. In fact this is equal to [10]. It does not mean 'look for a string that contains any number between 1 and 10 followed by a lowercase character from 'a' to 'z'', instead it looks for a string that contains '1' or '0' followed by a lowercase character. Otherwise you would need grouping itself to express 1-10, something like ([1-9]|10)[a-z] might do.

Regards

Updating Html.Encode nuggets in MVC to ASP.NET 4 Syntax

Solidus667 | Edit | Show History

Please Wait

Hey y'all. I'm using this Find expression:

\<%=:Wh@Html.Encode\({.*}\):Wh@%\>

and this Replace expression:

<%: \1 %>

to change this:

<%= Html.Encode(someObject.someField) %>

into this:

<%: someObject.someField %>

as I migrate my ASP.NET MVC app to ASP.NET MVC 2 on the .NET 4 Framework. I hope this helps you learn. It took me like 20 minutes to figure it out myself and I'd love to save someone that amount of time.

I use \ to escape the < and > symbols as well as the ( and ).

I use :Wh to denote whitespace and follow it up with @ to indicate that it might not occur at all or it might occur a lot.

I use {} to indicate the part I want to refer to in the replacement expression with \1.

Example of regex replace found

Maciej Greń | Edit | Show History

Please Wait

Let's try to find following text:

fieldLabel: 'something'

text:'something2'

and repleace it with
fieldLabel: __('something')

text:__('something2')

to find it using Visual Studio Regex you have to use the following in "Find with" field:
(fieldLabel|text) *(:b)*\:*(:b):q

This means that you will search for existance of two words "fieldLabel" or "text". You also allow to have some space between "fieldLabel" and ":". Keep in mind that special characters like ":" has to be with backslash. the ":b" means is a shorthand which means that you allow a space or tab sign there.

To replace the search results with the proper string you have to add into your query tagged expressions. In our scenario:
{(fieldLabel|text)} *(:b)*\:*(:b){:q}

This way we are cutting out two values from our search results and we can use them in "replace with" field by using their indexes (for instance the first tagged expression {(fieldLabel|text)} has \1 index and the second {:q} has \2)

so the perform our find and replace scenarion you should have the following:

"find with"
{(fieldLabel|text)} *(:b)*\:*(:b){:q}

"replace with"
\1:__(\2)

More about it you can read in this blog post (http://blog.goyello.com/2009/08/22/do-it-like-a-pro-–-visual-studio-find-and-replace/)
