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?

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

It's certainly not the Regex I'm used too. In researched for your
solution, I realized things like excluding prefix/suffice matches
simply give a "No Matches Found" message.

I'm curious however, why do you need to capitalize your variable
names?

Thanks,

Seth Rowe
