\l, [a-z], and \u do not seem to work properly When I search for a lower case or uppercase letter after a quote, I do not find what I expect with the following two regular expressions
"[a-z] or "\l If the file contains the single line "Regular" and I use either of the above two regex, the find command will highlight "R, which it should not. Am I doing something wrong in the regex, or is this a bug in the regex engine? Matthew |

I guess you will have to check "Match Case" check box before you earch for [a-z] or \l.

Re: \l, [a-z], and \u do not seem to work properly Thanks, checking off the match case works, along with use regular expression. I am used to working in a UNIX environment where case sensitivity is the norm. In UNIX, when I use regular expressions, I must use an option to make case insensitive.
