        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 ?

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

                                    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)

                                    Searches should be greedy by default (maybe not in Visual Studio). In C#, ? will make it non-greedy.

                                      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 ?

                                      It is called Find and Replace no search and replace :doh:

                                          But isn't it counter intuitive that if I do a search and replace using regex, the regex portion of what I find, is not replaced ? Ooops - in Visual Studio.

                                          try {
                                          if (Regex.IsMatch(subjectString, "")) {
                                          // Successful match
                                          } else {
                                          // Match attempt failed
                                          }
                                          } catch (ArgumentException ex) {
                                          // Syntax error in the regular expression
                                          }
