Power of RegX Search/Replace in Visual Studio

I had real good challenge today. What I wanted was replace tons of method and put “_” at the end without manually going hundreds of rename.

So I tried power of RegX search/replace option

Here is full documentation about all available options

Open Search and Replace Dialog and then under Find Option Check “Use” and Select “Regular Expression”

Search For: {.}:Ps:Pe\s*\n
Replace With: \1_()\n

I will explain each part for SEARCH FOR regx

{.} mean any character

: Ps means opening bracket ( or {

: Pe means closing bracket ) or }

\s* means one or more whitespace

\n means new line

Here is breakdown of REPLACE WITH regx

\1 means anything from first curly bracket referenced in SEARCH FOR expression

_ means underscore

\n means new line
