title: visual studio Find/Replace reuse group
body: <p>I have a regular expression for the Find and Replace window in Visual Studio (2008), where I have a tagged group (<code>{}</code>). And now I need to reuse that same group later in the statement again. In the replace box you can use the <code>\n</code> (where <code>n</code> is a number from 1 to 9), but in the find box you can't...</p>
  
  <p>The tagged group is variable and contains expressions.</p>
  
  <p><em>Example</em>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;{(:a*\:)*:a*}\&gt;blablabla&lt;\/{(:a*\:)*:a*}\&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The second <code>{(:a*\:)*:a*}</code> should only match the <strong>same</strong> match as the first one. So if a match with <code>asp:Label</code> in the first group succeeds, the second should only match when with it finds <code>asp:Label</code> again.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone has a solution?</p>
