RegEx Find & Replace Replacement for Visual Studio 2005 1.0

RegEx Find & Replace Replacement for Visual Studio 2005 is a free Visual Studio 2005 Add-In that solves two problems which occur when using the built-in Find & Replace functionality of Visual Studio 2005 with regular expressions:

Find & Replace does not use the same regular expression syntax as the .Net RegEx class. Although neither syntax is better or worse per se, this requires you to remember two different syntaxes for basically the same thing.

Find & Replace with regular expressions is incredibly buggy in Visual Studio 2005. Especially when using expressions that include line breaks there are major problems, including captures not capturing anything or capturing the wrong text, and it is even possible to crash the IDE with a simple find pattern.

For installation and usage instructions, consult the readme.txt file in the archive. Reportedly, this add-in does not work with the Express editions of Visual Studio 2005, the full version is required.

Source code and binaries are included in the archive.
