Does the JavaScript regex standard support forcing case when doing a search/replace?
I am generally aware of the \u etc. options for forcing the case of a capture group in the replacement portion of a regular expression. I am unable to figure out how to do this in a JavaScript regex though. I do not have access to the JavaScript code itself but rather a program I am using allows entry of the regex strings which it passes through to the regex engine itself.
If I understand you correctly, no.
You cannot evaluate javascript (to transform matches to uppercase) from within a regex pattern.
I’m only aware of str.replace() to convert to uppercase.
