Capitalisation command or macro ?

[Greg Edwards]

Nedit Comrades,
Thanks for those responses. The one I used was Matthjis and his regex
search/replace below. I should have realised it would be easy there. Nedit
regex is certainly nice, seems to have the best of all the regex packages,
eg. non-greedy matching. I've experienced that before, you battle with grep,
grep -E, some Perl, to achive something, and then Nedit regex has it easy as
pie.

Cheers,
Greg E
