<p>Hi,</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Heres an example:<br>
search for <code>(o|n|r|a)(|mega|_rod)</code><br>
replace by <code>\U1\2</code> (or similar synthax)<br>
would convert the occurences of omega, n, r, and a_rod to Omega, N, R, and A_rod respectively...</p>
<p>This has been discussed here: <a href="http://lists.geany.org/pipermail/users/2012-October/008284.html">http://lists.geany.org/pipermail/users/2012-October/008284.html</a> and is also available in regular expressions: <a href="http://www.regular-expressions.info/replacecase.html">http://www.regular-expressions.info/replacecase.html</a></p>
<p>Hope someone can get this feature in as Geany is great software !</p>
