Re: Possible with Grep?

Thinking outside the box... You said you already have three search and replace operations that do what you want but are looking for a one operation solution. Canonize is one way to achieve a one operation solution. Put your existing search and replaces in a transformation file. One search and

Re: Possible with Grep?

I’m afraid that I don’t have anything useful to contribute, but many, many years ago (1980s), I was using a programmable text editor (anybody remember TPU / LSEdit for VMS?), and implemented exactly this feature. I used it all the time; and I’ve regretted ever since that I’ve never seen it in

Re: Possible with Grep?

I did this once upon a time but had to use separate replacements for each case pattern. Here's an example you can run in BBEdit: #!/usr/bin/env perl @data = ( "word","Word","WORD"); $mask = "%-10s >> %s\n"; for $datum (@data) { printf $mask, $datum, fix($datum); print "\n"; } sub

Re: Possible with Grep?

I don't know if I understood your intention correctly, but maybe this ist what you are looking for: *First switch of case sensitive searching!* Search pattern: (w)(ord) Replacement pattern: \u\1\L\2 With this, every *word *|*Word *|*WORD* turns into *Word.* Use the "Pattern Playground"

Re: Possible with Grep?

Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear. Yes, “word” is a place holder. Think aWord, A_WORD, a_word as possible items to be changed. I want to change them to aSomething, A_SOMETHING, a_something. Searching for “word” in a case insensitive manner is easy, and even capture it. The question is, can I

>From the BBEdit Find window's grep cheat sheet, (?i) on the find grep expression will do case insensitive matches. Then the question is what do you want the replacement's character casing to look like? If you want the character casing to conform to the found match's, I don't think you can

Re: Possible with Grep?

*(?i)* in the string will render it case-insensitive, as will unchecking *Case sensitive* at the bottom of the BBEdit Find/Replace dialog. On Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at 1:14:26 PM UTC-8 Brian Forte wrote: > On Wed, 28 Feb 2024 11:38:07 -0600, Jim Straus wrote: > > I'm looking to change a

Possible with Grep?

Hello all regex experts - I'm looking to change a word in my code to another one, but it is sometimes "Word", "word" or "WORD". I can do this with three search and replaces. I also know about the \u\U modifications to the group (so \u\1 to uppercase the first letter), but that doesn't really
