Replace field function to uppercase matched RegEx content #77

Open ClaudioCimarelli opened 2 years ago

ClaudioCimarelli commented 2 years ago

Hello, The capabilities of this plugin are close to perfection. So thank you very much for your efforts. I would like to know if it's possible to insert in the replace field a function to, for example, change the content of a matched Regular Expression to all uppercase or other simple kinds of string manipulation.

Thank you again, Claudio

As of now, this is not possible. Though, it might be possible to do uppercase manipulation with regex.

Thank you for your reply. Could you explain to me what you mean? From what I could see, the replace field takes only simple strings, not regex. For example, I noticed that, in other systems, it should be possible to use \U to uppercase a matched string (https://stack.imagetube.xyz/318/how-to-replace-uppercase-with-lowercase-letters-in-regex).

Thank you again.

I don't see why that wouldn't work. Check the examples in the readme.
