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

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,

Actually I mis-spoke.

I really like to have those variable names start with lower case but
sometimes I mistakenly use upper case so I'd like to fix all those
mistakes
in an app with many files.

thanks

Ah, that makes better sense.

Personally, I would do a standard search for "Dim " and just keep
clicking enter until you find one that needs changed. Regex would have
been easier, but without the excluded suffix matching (which would
allow you search for a string, but only replace the beginning of it) I
don't know how you could get it to work.

Thanks,

Seth Rowe


Thank you
