texte = if you want to force grep to be case insensitive. you have to do case 2 like this: [Grep search=([Kk][Ii][Mm])&replace=[uppercase]KIM[/uppercase]]kIm is a good dog always in the theater[/grep]
[Kk] will look for either a "K" or a "k" (or any other letter specified inside 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" To: "WebDNA Talk" Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 2:18 PM Subject: Re: Grep Question - MAY NEVER BE SOLVED > > ok... after a few experiments i get weird stuff happaning... > > case 1: > > [Grep search=kim&replace= color="red">[uppercase]KIM[/uppercase]]kim is a good dog always in > the theater[/grep]
