I'm pretty sure you cannot do this as Studio uses .NET regex and this doesn't support conditional operations like this.  Maybe there is some other clever way to handle this... would love to learn!  If nobody has any ideas I'm thinking of looking at a search & replace app to handle multiple operations in one go, use wordlists for replacements and also now I've seen this provide a way to search/replace case.

Thank you so much Paul.

What an excellent idea. I think that would be a great addition.

I think the search/replace case is OK as it is. (I think I got confused...and was thinking of two different issues as one.)

If I have 

within Within and want to change all within to Within. The case sensitive operator works.

within Within and want to change all to within. The case sensitive operator works. (I tested in Word...I am sure it is the same in Studio.)

Can't think of any other case sensitive issue right now. 

Thank you so much. (I am ever so grateful to you about your Regular Expression articles. They are making my life easier even though I have to keep borrowing from your blog!)

Best wishes.
