I have a lot of strings like this to find and replace in visual studio:
$CLICKTHRU:Dark-Shadows-Reunion-Experience$
$CLICKTHRU:Pirahna-3DD-Experience$
$CLICKTHRU:The-Dictator$
I’ve been trying to follow the instructions on msdn here but I have got a little stuck.
Here’s my shameful attempt so far:
\$CLICKTHRU\:[:a|-|\$]
Tested on the first string that only matches
$CLICKTHRU:D
Could anyone give me a hand with a brief explanation?
Use this pattern:
\$CLICKTHRU\:[^$]+\$The
$is a metacharacter so it must be escaped to be interpreted literally, except when it occurs within a character class. In Visual Studio the colon has to be escaped as well.\$CLICKTHRU\:pretty straightforward given the above explanation. This is mostly matching literal characters.[^$]+is a negative character class, since it starts with a^inside the square brackets. It matches any character that is not a$character. The+indicates that the pattern should be matched one or more times.\$match the ending$character.
