Hello Peter,

thank you for your super and flexible program and time you spend to improve it and to answer our questions here. Smile

I have a little dumb question:

I need a way to match one or many words and uppercase/lowercase/capitalize 'em.

e.g.

I use this string to match any of those words in prefix at any position:

(?xi)(test|ntsc|pal|usa||partial|complete|demo)

now I wish to uppercase or lowercase or capitalize them and only them.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

There's no such thing as a dumb question.

To do what you want, check out the Options Window -> Change Case and Force Case menus.

The Force case menus lets you make a list of words that you want to have with specific letter cases.
The Change Case menu lets you choose which of the Case-related predefined commands will use the force case tables.

eg. If you change the case of a phrase to title case using the pre-defined renaming commands without any force case options, you could change:

i likE pLaying MUSIC by acDC

to

I like playing music by acdc

But if ACDC is in a force case table and Title case is configured to use the table, then the phrase would become:

I like playing music by ACDC

Hope that helps.

Peter.

Hello Peter and thanks for your answer.

Yes, this works, but I wonder if ther's something that could be done with a little bit of flexibility and only when I really need it.

I mean: everytime I have to go inside prefs and adding/deleting things I want to force case, it is ok afterall, but is there any way to use something like a regex and so I can enable/disable it anytime and directly from the list?

If not, I belive it could be a nice thing to implement in the future, or not?

Thank you again for your support and time.


Cheers

Sorry - that isn't part of the standard regular expression feature set and would be a major change to implement as a non-standard feature.

Peter.
