Reg Exp to convert lower to upper

[gr3gw]

I think I’m going crazy. Trying to convert text found in a RegExp search to upper case. I thought \U$1 would work but the “\U” is taken as literal two characters.

Aany suggests?

I thought \U$1

so perl-ish, wondering wherever else it would work

Change case of first letter using regular expression

Use your regular expression to find all. Then (when all occurrences are selected) use Format-Text-UPPERCASE.

Thanks fpy. That would work.

However, I’m really looking to change the case strictly in RegExp. I can’t believe it but it looks like LO doesn’t offer conversion is in replacement strings.

Thanks again,

No, there is no case change in replacement strings. Believe it.
AltSearch extension does it, though.

Thanks for confirming that, mikekaganski.
