Re: How to change the first character of Dim variable names to upper case

If I use the classic replace I'll have to do it 26 times. I was hoping that
the Regular Expression could do it with one search.
I just don't know how to upper case the replacement group.

in the ide`s find and replace dialog , there is the option to use Regex ,
although in my opinion it is a bit overkill for what you want to acomplish
a simple "clasic" find and replace will probably do the job much faster
and easier

also note that the dialect used in the IDE is slightly different :-(


Do you mean the IDE dialect is different from RegEx?
Doing somethings in RegEx is differsnt than doing it in the IDE?

Thanks

I want to search for Dim [a-z] and replace it with Dim [A-Z]

That is, I want to change the first character of Dim variable names to
upper case.

I can't figure know to use Regular Expression to do that.

Is it possible?


Thanks
