Replace a substring using RegEx - regex

Question

Here is a line in my xyz.csproj file:
<Reference Include="SomeDLLNameHere, Version=10.2.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b88d1754d700e49a, processorArchitecture=MSIL" />
All I need to do is replace the 'Version=10.2.6.0' to 'Version=11.0.0.0' .
The program I need to do this in is VSBuild which uses VBScript so I believe.
The problem is that I can't hardcode the 'old' version number. I therefore need to replace the following :
<Reference Include="SomeDLLNameHere, Version=10.2.6.0,
I therefor need a regex that will match the above bearing in mind that that in the example quoted, the 10.2.6.0 could be anything.
I believe that a regex that would select the text including and between
'<Reference Include="SomeDLLNameHere' and '>' is what I need.
There are other references to similar requests but none seem top work for me.
I would normally use C# to do this sort of thing and VBScript/Regex is something I avoid like the plague.

Answer 1

For most regex flavors, you would use this:
<Reference Include="SomeDLLNameHere.*?/>
For visual studio, I am not sure if the *? would work... Try this:
\<Reference Include="SomeDLLNameHere[^/]*\/\>

Answer 2

This regex pattern should work
"(<Reference[^>]+Version=)([^,]+),"
Applied with VBScript
str1 = "<Reference Include=""SomeDLLNameHere, Version=10.2.6.0,"
' Create regular expression.
Set regEx = New RegExp
regEx.Pattern = "(<Reference[^>]+Version=)([^,]+),"
' Make replacement.
ReplaceText = regEx.Replace(str1, "$111.0.0.0,")
WScript.echo ReplaceText
Gives the correct result
<Reference Include="SomeDLLNameHere, Version=11.0.0.0,
UPDATE
if you need something that matches between Version= and the end of the tag use > instead of ,
"(<Reference[^>]+Version=)([^>]+)>"

Answer 3

Using Regex with C# or VBScript is pretty much the same because it all comes to developing the regular expression. Something like this could help:
<Reference\s+Include\s*=\s*\".+\",\s*Version\s*=\s*.+,
Not sure what are the rules about case sensitivity and white spaces in csproj files, but this covers the form you described previously. Note that the "+" operator means one or kleen.
