Hello,

I downloaded the script from http://www.emeditor.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?cid=8&lid=169 and when using it I noticed that it treats lower cases and capital letters different.

example:
If you have a list…
hello
Hello
heLLo

You use the script to extract ‘hello’, you will only get the ‘hello’ with the lower cases.

How can I change this so the script treats all letters equal?

	

	if( !editor.EnableTab ){ 

	   editor.EnableTab = true; 

	   alert( "Please run this macro again." ); 

	   Quit(); 

	}

	

	sFind = prompt( "This macro extracts lines that do contain the specified string:", "" );

	if( sFind == "" ){

		Quit();

	}

	

	Redraw = false; 

	

	docSearch = editor.ActiveDocument; 

	editor.NewFile(); 

	docResult = editor.ActiveDocument; 

	docSearch.Activate(); 

	

	docSearch.selection.StartOfDocument(); 

	y = 1; 

	do { 

	   docSearch.selection.SetActivePoint( eePosLogical, 1, y ); 

	   if( y != docSearch.selection.GetActivePointY( eePosLogical ) )  break; 

	   docSearch.selection.SelectLine(); 

	   sLine = docSearch.selection.Text; 

	   re = new RegExp( ".*" + sFind + ".*" ); 

	   result = re.test( sLine ); 

	   if( result ){ 

	      docResult.Activate(); 

	      docResult.selection.Text = sLine; 

	   } 

	   docSearch.Activate(); 

	   y++; 

	} while( true );

	

	

thanks!

Hello nickb,

Try taking the line that says:

re = new RegExp( “.*” + sFind + “.*” );

… and change it to this …

re = new RegExp( “.*” + sFind + “.*” , “i”);

This should tell the regular expression matcher to ignore case.

For more details see :
http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascript.html
or search microsoft.com for “jscript reference” “regexp”

HTH
