Is it possible to transform to lowercase using Eclipse's regex search and replace?

Question

I've tried '\L' but it doesn't seem to be part of its grammar, and its help makes no mention of any available transforms.

I'm aware that I can and know how to do this from the command line but...

Is it possible to do case transforms using Eclipse's regex search and replace?

Answer 1

Hmm, I don't think it is possible. \L and even \u seem not to work as I expected (at least in Indigo). Maybe it would be better to do that outside of eclipse and then refresh de workspace.

PS: If you feel bored you can search for them and user CTRL+SHIFT+Y and CTRL+SHIFT+X to change the case :P

Answer 2

You can do it in two steps. First you insert the alphabet in lowercase. Then you only keep the right letter:

reg expr 1: ([A-Z])

replacement 1: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz$1

reg expr 2: (a)bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzA|a(b)cdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzB|ab(c)defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzC|abc(d)efghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzD|abcd(e)fghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzE|abcde(f)ghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzF|abcdef(g)hijklmnopqrstuvwxyzG|abcdefg(h)ijklmnopqrstuvwxyzH|abcdefgh(i)jklmnopqrstuvwxyzI|abcdefghi(j)klmnopqrstuvwxyzJ|abcdefghij(k)lmnopqrstuvwxyzK|abcdefghijk(l)mnopqrstuvwxyzL|abcdefghijkl(m)nopqrstuvwxyzM|abcdefghijklm(n)opqrstuvwxyzN|abcdefghijklmn(o)pqrstuvwxyzO|abcdefghijklmno(p)qrstuvwxyzP|abcdefghijklmnop(q)rstuvwxyzQ|abcdefghijklmnopq(r)stuvwxyzR|abcdefghijklmnopqr(s)tuvwxyzS|abcdefghijklmnopqrs(t)uvwxyzT|abcdefghijklmnopqrst(u)vwxyzU|abcdefghijklmnopqrstu(v)wxyzV|abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv(w)xyzW|abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw(x)yzX|abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwx(y)zY|abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy(z)Z

replacement 2: $1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14$15$16$17$18$19$20$21$22$23$24$25$26

And you can transform to UPPERCASE like this:

reg expr 1: ([a-z])

replacement 1: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$1

reg expr 2: (A)BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZa|A(B)CDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZb|AB(C)DEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZc|ABC(D)EFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZd|ABCD(E)FGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZe|ABCDE(F)GHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZf|ABCDEF(G)HIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZg|ABCDEFG(H)IJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZh|ABCDEFGH(I)JKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZi|ABCDEFGHI(J)KLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZj|ABCDEFGHIJ(K)LMNOPQRSTUVWXYZk|ABCDEFGHIJK(L)MNOPQRSTUVWXYZl|ABCDEFGHIJKL(M)NOPQRSTUVWXYZm|ABCDEFGHIJKLM(N)OPQRSTUVWXYZn|ABCDEFGHIJKLMN(O)PQRSTUVWXYZo|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO(P)QRSTUVWXYZp|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP(Q)RSTUVWXYZq|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQ(R)STUVWXYZr|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQR(S)TUVWXYZs|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS(T)UVWXYZt|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST(U)VWXYZu|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTU(V)WXYZv|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV(W)XYZw|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW(X)YZx|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX(Y)Zy|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY(Z)z

replacement 2: $1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14$15$16$17$18$19$20$21$22$23$24$25$26
