Search and replace in files - .NET regular expression syntax

Question

I am looking for a decent tool that can search and replace multiple files, with regex syntax that I use C # with. I usually did this in Visual Studio, except that it has the weirdest regex syntax (and that means it's faster than just replacing text in files manually).

So far I have tried windows grep, but below it did not like the regex. In the regular expression in question

<see cref="(?<class>.+)">(.+)</see>

To replace with

<see cref="${class}"/>

Alternatively, converting this to Visual Studio syntax would be great!

Jeff has the entire post on this on his blog.

Answer 5

You can use the .NET Regular Expression AddIn so you can use .NET regular expressions with Visual Studio. This is on CodeProject at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/macros/VS2005RegexAddIn.aspx .
