Re: [IUG] matching lower-case only with R?

John,

You're correct, there is no way to do a search in Create Lists that
relies on case sensitivity, even with regular expressions.  This was on
the enhancements ballot last year, but unfortunately was not a top
vote-getter.

Exporting your records is probably the best way to do this.

Subject: [IUG] matching lower-case only with R?

We use ALL CAPS to denote our generic records here, along with a BIB
CODE 3 of "g".  As sometimes records get the wrong BIB CODE3, I would
like to create a list of any bib records with a BIB CODE3 of "g" and
lower-case letters anywhere in the title.  The manual states, and my
experience confirms, that all search types in Create Lists, including R,
normalize all fields to lower case.

 

Is anybody aware of a way that I may have missed in the manual to force
R to be case-sensitive?  Or do I need to export all of our generic
records and do the match in perl?

 

Thanks for your time.
