Re: search replace wildcard

[Oliver Boermans]

Hi Sharb, try this (with [✓] Grep)

Search:
'[A-Z]

Replace:
'a

where [A-Z] will match any single uppercase letter

search replace wildcard

[Sharb]

I can't get basic wildcard \w to work in Find/Replace, but might be doing 
something very basic incorrectly.
I'm brand new to this work and am working my way through Practical 
Computing for Biologists. My Mac is OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and I've 
downloaded BBEdit as TextWrangler (the book's focus) is being 'sunsetted'.  
I've tried . (dot), but can't get it to work.
Example: 
+40 46'N +014 15'E
+21 17'N -157 52'W
I tried Find '\w and Replace 'a (to replace all letters with a)
