Search with pattern using argument placeholders

I am using ReSharper 6.1 in VB.Net and I wanting to search for all the calls to Help.ShowHelp and put those in a wrapper.

So I have something like this.

Private Sub BtnHelpClick(sender As System.Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnHelp.Click
  Help.ShowHelp(Me, HelpFiles.AuditTables, HelpNavigator.TopicId, AudittablesContext.AuditTables)
End Sub

And I want it turned into this.

Private Sub BtnHelpClick(sender As System.Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnHelp.Click
   _navigation.ShowHelp(Me, HelpFiles.AuditTables, AudittablesContext.AuditTables)
End Sub

I tried something like this as the search pattern.

Help.ShowHelp($type1$, $type2$ , HelpNavigator.TopicId, $type3$)

I tried more things then I care to remember. But even this doesn't work Help.ShowHelp($type1$.

When I try Help.ShowHelp( it does find that, so I think it's the expressions that aren't matching anything.

Any help would be grately appreciated.

You need an argument placeholders for ShowHelp arguments like so: Help.ShowHelp($arg1$,$arg2$,$arg3$,$arg4$);. Every argument placeholder should have exactly 1 argument.
The replace pattern is: _navigation.ShowHelp($arg1$, $arg2$, $arg4$);

enter image description here

Now all Help.ShowHelp calls are marked as suggestions and can be replaced.
