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

Visual Studio 2010 and earlier:

1. Find In Files (CTRL+SHIFT+F)
2. Use: Regular Expressions
3. Find: :q (quoted string)
4. Find All

Find Results window will now contain a report of all files, with line numbers and the line itself with the quoted string.

For Visual Studio 2012 and later search for ((\".+?\")|('.+?')) (reference, hat-tip to @CincauHangus)
