(i recall having seen it somewhere) Currently, what i'm doing is to write my own replacement function that change the case like this: (defun upcase-matched () "Returns the upcase of matched text." (let (m1 returnText) (setq m1 (upcase (buffer-substring (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1)))) (setq returnText (concat "

" m1 )) returnText ) ) then use =E2=80=9C\,(upcase-matched)=E2=80=9D for the replacement text. PS I wrote a tutorial on this http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs_find_replace.html Xah xah@xahlee.org =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
