Search & replace

Hi,

I wanted to search & replace a particular pattern like below

Replace

Figure of xx =
Figure of yyy =
Figure of ghd =
Figure of yry =

with

Figure of xx = xx
Figure of yyy = yyy
Figure of ghd = ghd
Figure of yry = yry

I am looking at a command similar to below:-

:1,$ s/Figure of .* = /\0

What I intended was the .* will pick up the characters between "Figure of" & "=" & put it in \0, but looks like \0 takes the value of entire search string. Is there some smart command where I can achieve the above search & replace?

Thanks for the advance help.
