Hey, all. I was wondering if there's a way to Find & Replace smartly wrt
capitalization. Example: I want to replace all instances of Network and
network with Platform and platform (respectively). How can I do this with
one F&R?

Eclipse is supposed to allow you to pass captured strings as parameters,
but I haven't figured out the way to actually do it. You should be able
to do this (note that Eclipse seems to use "(" and ")" as capture blocks,
as opposed to "\(" and "\)") when Regular expressions box is checked:
Find: ([Pp])latform
Replace: \1roduct
Even if I could get this to work, it would only be ok for words that start
with the same letter, and not much help in general. Note that I'm getting
most of my info through hitting CTRL-Space in the Find: and Replace:
fields.
