Indeed, George, you’re completely right about that matter ! And, as I’m French, I should have noticed that issue, about accentuated letters, a long time ago :-(( What am I missing?!? I’ve looked all over for something that might explain this, but I’ve failed to find anything, so your help would be greatly appreciated!
It also happens with the lowercase command, just like it does with the uppercase command. The others remain untouched!Īgain, this happens with all accented letters, regardless of the letter or the accent. The only affected letter is the unaccented ‘e’, in the middle of the line. (Note that the “\E” in the replace line is just for completeness sake.)
In the “Replace with” box, enter: \U\1\E. Under Search Mode select “Regular expression”. Type Ctrl+H to open the Search/Replace dialog. Now attempt the same thing using search and replace… With the line still selected, type “Ctrl+U”, the keyboard shortcut for “lowercase”. From the menu bar, select Edit->Convert Case to->UPPERCASE. The problem is the same for all accented letters. The letter ‘E’ was chosen at random for this example. Note the unaccented ‘e’ in the middle of the line. Take the following example, a file containing only the following line: The problem is that regular expressions do not work correctly! Any attempt to change the case of an accented character using a regular expression with search and replace fails. These commands work fine, regardless of whether a character is accented or not. Notepad++ has case conversion commands in the Edit menu. I’ve come across a problem that I’m trying figure out, and so far, I’ve been unable to even find it mentioned anywhere! The issue concerns case conversion of accented characters.
