Hello everyone,
I apologize if this was answered before
(I did some searches and skimmed through the first pages of this sub-section of forum to no avail).
In short, I installed calibre
(v.2.5 apparently, even though on the official site the last version appears as 2.49) today on my Linux Jessie, in order to convert a PDF ebook to ePub.
As it turned out for some reason it made many of the words on the beginning of phrases, lowercase, therefore I was trying to use the editor with RegEx in order to re-capitalize the first letter for the words in question.
For some reason, the
function mode is missing in the
Search panel of the editor, when I click on the
Mode drop-down box. Is this normal for this version?
From what I see in the changelog
function mode for RegEx was introduced since v.2.11 and unless it was dropped lately I guess it should still be there.
If it's not available anymore, does anyone know what RegEx expression I could use in the
Replace box in order to capitalize what was found by the
Find function
(if that's possible at all)?
I've been testing with the following RE string for finding lowercase words at the beginning at paragraphs for starters
(and it identifies the words fine):
(<p class="calibre1">)([a-z]).
From what I see, in the
Replace box I can retrieve the second group by using the:
\2 RE backwards reference but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to capitalize that
(I'm quite a noob in RegEx yet).
If anyone has an idea how to do that or how to bring back the function mode in the editor (in case it's depending on some setting) or any other method to make a whole bunch of different words propercase, I would appreciate that a lot.
Thanks for your time.
