Regular expressions can be very useful when doing a Find and Replace in Visual Studio. Unfortunately, the RegExp syntax is not entirely standard. These are the most basic differences.
| action | standard | Visual Studio | |
|---|---|---|---|
| whitespace | \s | :Wh | |
| non-whitespace | \S | [^:Wh] | |
| capture | () | {} | |
| use captured group | $1 | \1 |
