Default Regular expressions: lower case after hyphen

Hi-

How do I use Find/Replace with regular expressions to make the first word after a hyphen lowercase? I can find them with "- ([A-Z])" using wildcards but can't figure out what to put in the replace field without it replacing what it finds with literally what I type there.

Thanks,



Susan

Hi Suzan,

You can't change the case via a wildcard Find/Replace. You can only do it with a normal Find/Replace, or with a macro-driven Find/Replace operation.
