In example "PÉREZ" or > "GONZÁLEZ" Yes, this is difficult, because of the accented letters. There is no [:upper:] in emacs regular expressions. It might be possible to build a syntax table or something to identify uppercase letters including accented ones, but AFAIK, there's nothing built in. The simpliest would be to prepare a regular expression explicitely listing all the characters you'd want, something like: "\\<[A-ZÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖØÙÚÛÜÝÞ]+\\>" but in all generality, you'd miss a lot of other capital letters. > I was looking in the manuals but I didn´t find it. > > I want to make a macro that looks for a word all uppercase, go to the beggining of that word and > Capitalize it. Unsing the words in the example: "Pérez" or "González". That's easier to do. Just beware of the triple negation ;-) (require 'cl) (defun capitalize-uppercase-words (start end) (interactive "r") (goto-char start) (while (re-search-forward "\\<\\sw*\\>" end t) (let ((word (match-string 0)) (start (match-beginning 0)) (end (match-end 0))) (unless (some (lambda (ch) (char/= ch (upcase ch))) word) (delete-region start end) (insert (capitalize word)))))) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__
