Subject: Evaluating the previous and following character in a Search and Replace routine?
Hi all,
Is there a way to evaluate the character before and after the found string in a routine like this:
With rTmp.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = var1
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchWildcards = False
'evaluate character here?
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.Text = var2
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Something like:
If 'prevous charecter is a tab or a carriage return or ". " Then
'use a capital for the first character in the replacement string
Else 'use no initial capital in the replacement string
End If
Best regards,
Shirley
