I am looking to use find and replace to change my graphic file locations without the need to do each one individually.

So I currently have several 

\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{fig1}
\includegraphics[scale=0.85]{fig2}

etc.

Is there a way at which I can find and replace to something like this

*find(\includegraphics[*]{/Chapter/Images/* *

where * is this thing I am trying to ignore and not change. This would result in

    \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{/Chapter/Images/fig1}
    \includegraphics[scale=0.85]{/Chapter/Images/fig2}

If anyone knows of a way I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Assuming you use texstudio (as you tagged your question), you could do this with regex matches and capture groups. See for example, https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/432218/how-to-insert-submatches-from-regular-expression-in-texstudio – David Purton Jul 17 '19 at 14:34

    why do you need to do that at all? it is almost always better just to have \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{fig1} you can use \graphicspath{{Chapter/Images/}} so tex looks in the subdirectory. – David Carlisle Jul 17 '19 at 14:54

The best answer is the comment from @David Carlisle, but, just to make a regex exercise, in TeXStudio you should search for:

\\includegraphics\[(.*)\]\{(.*)\}

And subtitute with

\includegraphics[\1]{/Chapter/Images/\2}
