I don't know the exact expression you would need, but I found this[^] resource that may help you if you haven't seen it yet.

There is also a small tip/trick/article here on CP. It isn't highly rated and I haven't read it too carefully yet, but there may be some good info in there too for you. Visual Studio Find/Replace Regular Expression Usage[^]
