Could someone give me a very simple regular expression for Visual Studio's
search/replace using backreferences saving portions of the match as \1 or $1 or
whatever. I want to use something I can use in VS interactave search/replace, but
can't find the reference. Just a simple one is all I need.

((\(\d{3}\) ?)|(\d{3}-))?\d{3}-\d{4}

Click to expand...

Notice that there is a 'Help' button in the replace dialog box that
contains a description of the buttons and options in the dialog and
references to the documentation for the regular expression
search/replacement feature.
 
That did the trick.

Herfried,
I found that Help reference on regular expressions, but I missed that tag stuff
completely; mainly because I'm too new, didn't know what to look for, and needed an
example.
