ID: Q28839


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 2.x, 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11


SUMMARY

In the Microsoft Windows Write Replace dialog box (called Change in earlier versions), the Find What text box is case-sensitive only when the Match Case (Match Upper/Lowercase in earlier versions) check box is selected. However, the Change To text box is case-sensitive always, regardless of the status of the Match Case check box.


MORE INFORMATION

Case sensitivity is best demonstrated by doing the following:

  1. Clear the Match Case check box.


  2. In the Find What and Change To text boxes, type:
    ^P
    (Press SHIFT+6, uppercase P.)


  3. When you choose the Change All button, all the carriage returns, ^p (SHIFT+6, lowercase p), are replaced with an uppercase letter P.
