x:Uid="XXXXX"
I want to remove all these tags from a Xaml file. Is there a regex I can use to take them all out? XXXXX can be anything. And note a space before the x.

Regex:
\s+x:Uid=\"[^\"]+\"
in C#:
var regex = "\\s+x:Uid=\\\"[^\\\"]+\\\"";
... try that
Edit: Updated regex.

Unknown operator on the :
Might need an escape or something?

Hmm.. that is strange. That is definitely the right expression. It works with C#'s regex engine and Javascript's engine too. I tried using it in VS2008's find dialog and I got the same error. I don't know how to fix that. I think they have some custom searches you can perform that are prefixed with a colon. That kind of botches the regex functionality...

Ok.. i finally figured it out... VS has a different syntax for finding whitespace (:Wh). Anyway, here it is (this will only work in the find dialog):
:Whx\:Uid="([^"]|:Wh)*"

Visual Studio's find dialog uses a different regex syntax. This ought to do the trick:
:b+x\:Uid="[^"]+"

Not when there are newlines between the quotes.

If there are newlines between the quotes, then it isn't a valid XML file.
