caseSensitive and regex

Post by WaltBrown » Tue Dec 30, 2014 2:52 am

The Dictionary for "replaceText" says, in the "See Also:" section, "caseSensitive", implying that there are cases where "caseSensitive" might apply. The "caseSensitive" property has no effect on the application of the "replaceText" regex-based function, which makes sense. That should be noted in the various search/replace functions (both those that do and don't use regex), and "caseSensitive" removed as a "See Also:" from functions which use regular expressions.

Is there a Dictionary Editors page I can submit this to?

Thanks,
Walt

Note: I see this IS mentioned in the "matchText" and "matchChunk" Dictionary entries.

"See also" just suggests other topics that can be similar, but necessary related to the current topic.
