Here we list out the components of the Find/Replace Regex and compare each with the equivalent in standard Regex. Feature Comparison with standard RegEx Key Of course, if you have strings with single-quote marks in, you’ll have to double them by replacing ‘ with ”, but otherwise, you’re done. Click on the ‘include column headers in the result set’ optionbox so that it is UNTICKED. Click on the Query -> ‘Query options…’, Click on Results Text in the tree on the left and set the dropdown box at the top right of the form to Tab Delimited. To find either an integer or a floating point number, one can use the following RegEx which is a bit long but simple in structure Here you have something that is looking for a whole lot of different alternative keywords merely by grouping them and using the | character to. The oddest quirk of the find/Replace Regex is the use of curly brackets to denote a capturing group.

Formatting results? Yes, the results in the result pane can quickly be turned into HTML or SQL Insertion code using a RegEx search and replace, though this is often easiest done in a more specialised programmers’ text editor. Although it is definitely possible to type RegEx strings directly into the Find Box and have them work perfectly, a library of RegEx strings can save a lot of time for routine tidying up of SQL code, or formatting the results.
So is it any use?Įven though it is odd, and lacks some of the features one expects, it is still very handy, particularly if you have a few RegEx favourites squirreled away. It has reappeared in VS2010, and so is likely to be there once again in the replacement for SSMS. We were promised a change in VS2005, but it never happened. The determination of Microsoft to maintain compatibility with Visual C++ Studio is one of the abiding mysteries of Windows. For some reason it was also used in Microsoft FrontPage and Expression Web too. It is very oddball syntax, and comes originally from Visual C++ 2.0. The same code is used in Visual Studio, even the completely re-written VS2010. It comes from way back before Microsoft paid so much heed to industry standards.
It is Microsoft’s standard RegEx implementation for Find/Replace in its applications. It uses a quirky implementation of regular expressions, with unusual syntax, and few advanced features. NET application, you’ll imagine that it uses the lovely Regular Expression library that is within. ‘Nice,’ you will think ‘This will be very handy for those refactoring jobs that would otherwise require programmers’ editor.’ Because you know that SSMS is a.
The Find/Replace feature of SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) supports Regular Expressions.
