[Github-comments] [geany/geany] allow \U and \L tags in regexp search and replace for uppercase and lowercase conversion (#1357)

[Louis Gagnon]

Hi,

I love the Geany search and replace which lets one use regular expressions. I would like to request that it also allows the replacing string to use a case conversion on the selected letters.

Heres an example:
search for `(o|n|r|a)(|mega|_rod)`
replace by `\U1\2` (or similar synthax)
would convert the occurences of omega, n, r, and a_rod to Omega, N, R, and A_rod respectively...

This has been discussed here: http://lists.geany.org/pipermail/users/2012-October/008284.html and is also available in regular expressions: http://www.regular-expressions.info/replacecase.html

Hope someone can get this feature in as Geany is great software !
