If you have `case-fold-search' to non-nil, it's convenient that XEmacs notice the uppercase character in FROM, and deduce that you actually want case sensitiveness. Moerover it's coherent with what interactive searches do. It doesn't make sense to toggle case sensitiveness according to the TO string. Again, no, because what you want to do is more complex than what the feature is for. You actually want a different treatment for one character in the string, being uppercase or lowercase. That's the kind of thing query-replace-regexp is for. You can query-replace-regexp "object[n\\|N]ame", in which XEmacs will notice the uppercase letter and deduce you want temporarily case sensitiveness. This won't match "ObjectName". For really complex stuff, you'll have no choice but toggle manually case sensitiveness as you wish, but this is a good thing. Let's not complicate the existing functions. And writing `query-replace-with-case' takes 3 lines. You're so wrong you don't deserve an option :-) -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / ENST, INFRES C201.1 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel. +33 (1) 45 81 73 46 75013 Paris, France Fax. +33 (1) 45 81 31 19
