Searching For String Literals

Question

In the quest for localization I need to find all the string literals littered amongst our source code. I was looking for a way to script this into a post-modification source

Answer 1

To find all Text="textonly" instances use the following Regular Expression when searching:

(Text=)(")([a-z])

This is help for finding Text="*" but excluding text that's already been converted to use resource files:

Text="<%$ Resources:LocalizedText, KeyNameFromResourceFile%>"

Also (>)([a-z]) can be used to find literals between tags like so:

HeaderText
