Regex to find small letter followed by capital?

Vortex · 03-17-2016, 08:00 AM

I'm trying to use a regex in the Advanced Search to find any lower case letters in the titles that are immediately followed by a capital, to find titles like "AnUnknownBook"

I thought this would work: title:"~(.*[a-z][A-Z])" but it's not behaving case sensitive. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

@Vortex:

The MCS (Multi-Column Search) plug-in works fine. See the attached example. Just be sure to specify that re.IGNORECASE should not be used.

Thanks Dalton, I hadn't seen your new search plugin before, it did the job. Looks like a very powerful tool, just hope I can learn how to get the most out of it.
