SSMS search/replace and regex

  • I just started working with SSMS for 2016 and the search and replace feature has me stumped at the moment. The documentation I am finding suggests that the regular expression syntax is pretty much the same as it has been in SSMS for years now, but it isn't working. In fact, what does seem to work at least partly is a regular expression syntax more like I'm used to from PHP and JavaScript -- but not completely.

    I finally got the particular replacement I was using to work, but I'm wondering if there is better documentation somewhere that I am missing.

  • These changes have been slightly annoying but looks like they are slightly improving with each release, make certain you have the latest release of SSMS.

    One particularly annoying thing was that the scope constantly went to all open documents (ouch) seems to be fixed by now.
