E.g.,

Code:

Before After
--------------
emily-yellow.extension emily-yellow.anotherword.extension/possiblysomethingelse
Emily-yellow.extension Emily-yellow.anotherword.extension/possiblysomethingelse
emily-Yellow.extension emily-Yellow.anotherword.extension/possiblysomethingelse
Emily-Yellow.extension Emily-Yellow.anotherword.extension/possiblysomethingelse

Basically I want to preserve the case in the words
At least:
-the first letter in the entire keyword
-first letter after the -
-first letter of the extension

right now i'm writing the second keyword in lowercase in the see command but i want to keep it as the same case as the original. sometimes occurrences are the beginning of a sentence, some occurrences are not. if it is, i want to also be capitalised upon replacing

actually i have another problem

I'm doing something like

Code:

UPDATE $optionstable SET option_value = replace(option_value,"$BEFORE","$AFTER") WHERE wp_otpions.option_name = 'blogname';

but the problem is that this only replaces the specific case of "$BEFORE"

how can i make it case insensitive?
thanks

Okay, so this is what I'm trying now

blognamebefore = (i put in a sql command to grab the blog name)
This can be anything like "afdsdsfasdf BEFORE fafdsadffdsds"

then I'm trying to run a sed command that does a replace of the BEFORE keyword to the AFTER keyword

sed 's!${BEFORE}!${AFTER}!gI'

I want to preserve the case of the BEFORE word, at least the first letter would be good

how can I do this?

when I run the sed command, it changes the keyword into all lowercase letters

and I don't want to do this especially in the title

I think I managed something for now
I googled about how to use sed to capitalise the first letter of a word
then use that as my new keyword

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
