Regex to search for a word in a string in Visual Studio

Question

I need to search all of my codebase for \"Url\" and replace it with \"URL\". If I search for Url in Visual Studio I also get all my variables with \"Url\" in it.

Anyone

Answer 1

What I really ended up needing was:

("[^"]*Url[^"]*")

And thanks to the tip from tghw who pointed out the :q shortcut in Visual Studio equates to:

(("[^"]*")|('[^']*'))

I realized I needed to use the first portion to find only the double quoated strings I was looking for.

Both this regex and a standard find with 'Match case' and 'Match whole word' yielded results with some strings I was hoping to not find but eliminated the code with 'Url' in it.
