Using Visual Studio 2010 I would like to do a project level regular expression

  • 0

Using Visual Studio 2010 I would like to do a project level regular expression replace as below.

Find: #region {any string here}

Replace: #region - string from above -

I tried the below:

region\s'{[^]+}'

region '{[^]+}'

region {:q}

But the IDE complains about an incorrect pattern. How can I fix this?

    Ahhh, Visual Studio regexes… They shouldn’t be called a regex since they diverge to much of what is “standard”

    I fired up VS and after some trial and error this works:

    search:

    \#region \{{.*}\}
    

    replace:

    #region - \1 -
