How to replace uppercase letters to lowercase letters using regex in Eclipse?

I'd like to go through all of my source code files and replace every occurence of k_Xyyy with k_xyyy (switch the first letter after k_ from uppercase to lowercase).

I'm using the eclipse dialog to search and replace multiple files. Right now I have the regex \bk_([A-Z]).

How do I specify the replacement string of the regex?

Solution

  • That is not possible. Either use Eclipse's re-factoring functionality, or replace them one at a time:

    regex       : \bk_A
replacement : k_a 

regex       : \bk_B
replacement : k_b 

...

regex       : \bk_Z
replacement : k_z
