How are you replacing? post the code here

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

:omg: you can't do that, its not dynamic it is static so you have to do it one by one

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.

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.

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

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.

Got me. It looks like it should work. :confused: PS - I don't know why you were 1 voted on your previous post so I voted 5 to counteract, not because I thought it was a brilliant post.
