Re: Another SRT questions

Hi Tony,

On this one I get the error: "E486: pattern not found: \p\.\s\+zs\l "

Why is that?

Rgds,

Hi,

I have an SRT file that have dialog sentences that sometimes ends halve
way with a dot.
And then a next sensentence starts.
This text doesn't start then with a uppercase character, but with a
lower case letter.

For example:
I want to tell you this. and also this.

How to change this into:
I want to tell you this. And also this.


It's basicly search for "<one or more character and spaces ending with
chars>. <lower char>"
I played with getline and toupper() in an function call, but got lost.



Rgds,

What about (untested)

        :[range]s/\p\.\s\+\zs\l/\u\0/g

        :        this is an Ex-command
        [range]  see :help [range], e.g. fromline,toline
        s        substitute, see :help :s
        /        what to find starts here, see :help pattern-overview
        \p       printable character
        \.       period
        \s       whitespace
        \+       the preceding atom may occur 1 or more times
        \zs      start replacing here
        \l       lowercase letter
        /        what to replace by starts here, see :help sub-replace-special
        \u       make the next character uppercase
        \0       the original replace-from string
        /        end of replace-by part, start of flags, see :help :s_flags
        g        any number of times (not only one) per line


Best regards,
Tony.
