D'oh! - My Overcomplication of Regex

Some more screwing around with regex more has made me realize I have overcomplicated capture replacement, it is a simple as using a replace and just throwing in the $1, etc into the Regex.Replace functions replace string. I mean what I do works but it is totally unnecessary so I thought I would throw that out there. Apparently they already though of that when they did replace, I wonder why they didnt think of the tristate check treeview since a checkbox can be tristate. Sometimes it is better not to ask why!

The way I did it works well enough but you can see how it could be done below without a temp variable, and it is a little less confusing than using Regex.Result.

Anyway I thought I should share my ignorance, and enlightenment.
