That is exactly why I wrote: " SrchRplcHiGrp - Search and replace based on a syntax highlight group " http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=848 Put your cursor on the word highlighted the colour that you want uppercased. :SRChooseHiGrp Or :SRChooseHiGrp! Visually select the range you want (or ggVG for whole file): :'<,'>SRHiGrp The defaults selected will uppercase the words. I wrote it mainly since I work with SQL and like the keywords uppercased. But you can do anything with Vim's regex to the matches. HTH, Dave
