How to change the first character of Dim variable names to upper case

[Academia]

I want to search for Dim [a-z] and replace it with Dim [A-Z]

That is, I want to change the first character of Dim variable names to upper
case.

I can't figure know to use Regular Expression to do that.

Is it possible?


Thanks

in the ide`s find and replace dialog , there is the option to use Regex ,
although in my opinion it is a bit overkill for what you want to acomplish a
simple "clasic" find and replace will probably do the job much faster and
easier

also note that the dialect used in the IDE is slightly different :-(

If I use the classic replace I'll have to do it 26 times. I was hoping that
the Regular Expression could do it with one search.
I just don't know how to upper case the replacement group.

Do you mean the IDE dialect is different from RegEx?
Doing somethings in RegEx is differsnt than doing it in the IDE?

It's certainly not the Regex I'm used too. In researched for your
solution, I realized things like excluding prefix/suffice matches
simply give a "No Matches Found" message.

I'm curious however, why do you need to capitalize your variable
names?

Actually I mis-spoke.

I really like to have those variable names start with lower case but
sometimes I mistakenly use upper case so I'd like to fix all those mistakes
in an app with many files.

thanks

Ah, that makes better sense.

Personally, I would do a standard search for "Dim " and just keep
clicking enter until you find one that needs changed. Regex would have
been easier, but without the excluded suffix matching (which would
allow you search for a string, but only replace the beginning of it) I
don't know how you could get it to work.
