Replace files content in VS code using Regex with original text

Question

I have hundreds of files with different content like as

public delete(entity: Model1): Observable<any> {

public delete(entity: ModelABC): Observable<any> {

and I want to add one more parameter in the method like as below using VS code replace:

public delete(entity: Model1, simulate: boolean): Observable<any> {

public delete(entity: ModelABC, simulate: boolean): Observable<any> {

I have tried with below expression. but, It does not work correctly.

Any solution? How can I replace all the matching line with correct replacement?

You need to capture the value you want to repeat ([A-Za-z0-9]+) and captured value references start at $1. so find: public delete$entity: ([A-Za-z0-9]+)$: Observable<any> \{ replace: public delete(entity: $1, simulate: boolean): Observable<any> { — pilchard
