I might be missing something
-
I was replacing s=c&vl=vlg&vi=\d* with a blank string, just a space. It replaces s=c&vl=vlg&vi= and doesn't replace the digits on the end. The digits are 1-3 digits, as in s=c&vl=vlg&vi=1 s=c&vl=vlg&vi=2 s=c&vl=vlg&vi=10 s=c&vl=vlg&vi=11 s=c&vl=vlg&vi=33 s=c&vl=vlg&vi=101 etc. I'd end up with 1 2 10 11 33 101 and, of course, if I just search for that term, it finds all the matches in my file. Oh - is this a case where I need to use a greedy operator ? *doh* (Edit) I don't use regex that often, but it appears to me that my operator is fine, I don't see any alternative to use....(/Edit)

I haven't used them for a while (and they're bluddy confusing at the best of times), but if what you're replacing is s=c&vl=vlg&vi=\d*, aren't you also replacing the digits (represented by \d*)? Try deleting \d* from the end of your pattern.

No, I do not. The search with the regex, matches these strings, it's the replace that skips the \d* part when it's doing the replacing.

Ok try this and give me your feedback:
s=c&vl=vlg&vi=\d*^p$

That what he want to do he want to remove the compete segment along with the digits and he is searching and repacing but the digits are staying and not deleted...

This will not find my values until I remove the ^p and the $. Removing one or the other, still does not work. The number is NOT the end of the line, there's usually a " just after it, and then tons of other stuff. I am replacing URLs. Just to add, s=c&vl=vlg&vi=\d*" works to match the line with the quotes in Expresso, but not in Visual Studio.

Well, it shouldn't matter, I am doing this in the IDE, not in code. I am using search and replace within Visual Studio. It should work the same no matter what I use. I am editing HTML files.

Nope - it's obviously the same thing, and it does the same. Matches the numbers fine, but leaves them behind when I replace.

How are you replacing? post the code here

If I were to use regex at all in the replacement string, I'd be doing a capture in the search and using the captured object in the replacement, which is one level of difficulty above what I was trying to do.

Sorry - I see I misread your requirement - I thought you DIDN'T want to replace the numbers!

There is no code. CTRL-Shift-H. Replace dialog in visual studio.

Wow - so the regex search and replace is useless then ? Great. Thanks for helping me. Do you have any link that explains why they didn't bother to make this useful at all ?
