texte = if you want to force grep to be case insensitive. you have to do case 2 likethis:[Grep search=([Kk][Ii][Mm])&replace=
[uppercase]KIM[/uppercase]]kIm is a good dog always inthe theater[/grep]
[Kk] will look for either a "K" or a "k" (or any other letter specifiedinside the []'s).Adding a dash in the middle, [K-k], treats it as a range between K to k.Though im not sure why "hea" was selected.----- Original Message ----- From: "Kalin Mintchev"
