Visual Studio "Find & Replace" Regular Expressions

I don't use regular expressions much in any code as I don't normally have any need for them.

However transforming code regular expressions come in handy.

The trick is remembering how to use regular expressions or to create a crib sheet

This one uses 'capture groups'.

Find:
(SID.*):

Replace With:
$1: return "$1";

Converts the following:

case  SID_AAAA:
case  SID_BBBBB:
case  SID_CCCCCC:

into:

case  SID_AAAA: return "SID_AAAA";
case  SID_BBBBB: return "SID_BBBBB";
case  SID_CCCCCC: return "SID_CCCCCC";
