Find & Replace with a wildcard in Xcode 4

regex, replace, xcode4

Solution

Regular expression replace is still available in Xcode 4. Use "Replace" and set style to "Regular Expression", use `"([^"]*)";` as pattern and replace with `"BLAH";`.

Problem

I'm trying to find all instances of text inside "" marks with a semi-colon directly after them, and replace the text inside the "" marks. So, for example: ``` "FirstKey" = "First value"; "SecondKey" = "Second value"; "ThirdKey" = "Third value"; ``` Would find only those values after the equals signs, and could replace them all (with a single string) at once, like so: ``` "FirstKey" = "BLAH"; "SecondKey" = "BLAH"; "ThirdKey" = "BLAH"; ``` How can I do this? I found some stuff referring to regular expressions in Xcode 3, but such functionality seems either gone or hidden in Xcode 4.
