Find words that start with an underscore

How can I select all property names that starts with an underscore and replace it with the same property name but without the underscore? It's a very tedious task and I want to use the VS2012 find and replace function to make it easy.

Edit:

I managed to select all property names with underscores with this regex

(?<!\w)_\w+

But how to replace it with the same class name excluding the underscore?

Put the below regex in the appropriate field inside Find and Replace window:

Find what: <_{[A-Za-z0-9]+}
Replace with: \1

In programming C#:

withoutUnderscore = Regex.Replace("_test", @"(?<!\w)_(\w+)", "\1");

Edit #1

In Visual Studio Find and Replace dialog:

1-Type (?<!\w)_{\w+} in Find What field

2-Type \1 in Replace with field

Find (?<!\w)_ and replace it with nothing.

Noticed that the replace field treats regex only as a string.
