    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.

      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.

                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.

                                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.

                                        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 ?

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

                                          No, I hoped I could use regex to replace a bunch of SIMILAR strings with the same value.
