Search for case

Post by gcotterl »

How do I search for lines whose first two characters are in UPPER case?

In the following example, I want to find the lines in bold text:

It didn't work...then I saw you ticked the "Match case" box so I ticked it and it worked perfectly! Thanks!


P.S. I have the "Notify me when a reply is posted" box ticked but I'm not getting any notification. Why not?

Most likely your e-mail provider is the issue - i.e. Microsoft silently dropped e-mails informing neither sender nor recipients about that.

Or this website's server IP address is on one of the spam blacklists - in that case he'll at least get bounces from most attempts.
