Regex pattern search in TextPad fails, works in Visual Studio

Question

I'm trying to use TextPad to search for a regular expression in several files. I have a simple pattern but it doesn't work in TextPad. It works fine in Visual Studio.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm searching for:

hosted.mysite.com or host.mysite.com

using the pattern:

(hosted|host)\.mysite\.com

Answer 1

try this:

 host\(ed\)?\.mysite\.com
