Visual Studio Regular Expressions Find/Replace not working as I expect

I am trying to match 

EchoCancellation = Convert.ToBoolean(SendReceivePackets.GetNameValuePairsFromUnparsedReply(parsedReply["EchoCancellation"]));

and change it to:

EchoCancellation = Convert.ToBoolean(parsedReply["EchoCancellation"]);

There are about 3000 of these.

Here is my regex:

SendReceivePackets\.GetNameValuePairsFromUnparsedReply\(parsedReply\["{\w*}"\]\)

Visual studio says it can't find it. I don't believe Visual Studio, I think it is just lazy. :)

Can anyone see the problem?

The \w should be :w.

Visual Studio uses non-standard regex. Change your regex to

SendReceivePackets\.GetNameValuePairsFromUnparsedReply\(parsedReply\[":w"\]\)
