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".

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.
