How would I match anything that matches another match?
For example, if I had a textbox with the text:
"class MyClass1
{
//...
}
new MyClass1()"
and it was matching class names ((?<=class ).*), how would I get it to match all instances of "MyClass1"?

The question almost contains the answer. Get Match.Value, which is a string, and use it in another Regex's pattern string. Please see:
