Regex Search and Rescue Description

The RSaR name stands for Regex Search and Rescue. RSaR is a command line search-and-replace tool (aka a "grep" tool) based on .NET, which offers one of the most advanced regular expression engines ever created. Regular expressions is a powerful but complex skill to learn -- so complex that I can only manage to keep one particular regex engine's syntax and idiosyncrasies in my head, at any one time. The .NET regex engine is compelling enough that I've forsaken the limited regex features in Visual Studio (and other) editors. However, the search and replace feature in the Visual Studio editor sports a few very helpful, nonstandard matching features -- a set of "shortcut" mnemonics for patterns common to programmers -- things like C-language identifiers, numeric literals, and quoted strings.
