(REGEX) Regular Expression to replace all in Xcode 5

Question

I have about 1,300 instances of

#import <xxxxx/ClassName.h>

that I'd like to replace with

#import "ClassName.h"

I noticed if I use the cmd-shift-f menu I can go to Replace > Regular Expression. The ClassName is not unique, xxxxx is always the same.

What is the regular expression that will replace all of those?

In Xcode 5:

As Find string:

#import <xxxxx/(\w+\.h)>

As Replace string:

#import "\1"

In Xcode 6:

Note: The behavior changed in Xcode 6. The \1 syntax was replaced with $1. Also keep in mind that newlines can now be matched in regular expressions, so make sure to skim before doing a Replace All.

if you are looking for an answer that works in xcode6 you'll find it here stackoverflow.com/a/15208449/416184 basically you have to write $1 instead of \1
