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

I used the following to search only "whole words" (i mean: appearing with an space before an after or immedately after or before the " ):

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

For example this matches "test Url" and "Url test" but don't "testUrl".
