Subject: query-replace-regexp on a string with '=' sign
Date: Thu, 08 Sep 2022 13:40:35 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k06e477o.fsf@codeisgreat.org> (raw)
I have a line like this,
HELLO=WORLD
now I want to downcase the part before the equal (=) sign.
I am approaching like this
M-x query-replace-regexp RET \(.+\)= RET \,(downcase \1)= RET
But this doesn't work. It works if the equal sign is replaced with
another non-special ASCII character.
Where am I wrong?
