      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.

                              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.

                                Not really. I looked up "search" and "replace" and sure enough, they are different concepts in Ameriglish. Not sure about Austraglish, though. I love the way good editors like vi let you search for something and replace something else. It's saved me lots of time and effort on many an occasion.

                                That is because vi uses grep.
