Find and Replace using Regular Expression in Visual Studio 2015

In my source code, using Visual Studio 2015 I want to replace all javascript calls from a specific folder to its minimized filename. For example:

<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/common/filename1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/common/filename2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/common/filename3.js"></script>

I want to replace with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/common/filename1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/common/filename2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/common/filename3.min.js"></script>

I use the following expression:

enter image description here

What should I put in the "Replace with" field?

I found a answer following Matthew Strawbridge's suggestion and making a little correction. The find expression is: 

(<script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/common/.*)(\.js"></script>)

And the replacement expression is

$1.min$2

I've tested in my project and it worked fine.

Instead I would do this... 

.js"></script>

and replace it with

 .min.js"></script>

Sorry I keep changing this, but this leaves out the regex which is unnecessary
