    Hey
    How to select all characters between 2 html table tags and then capitalize
    the first letter of each word. Likely I need a macro with a
    "reg-ex find/select" and then a simple F5 key?

    The exact tags are
    <tr><td>text in here</td><td>
    Want Output of
    <tr><td>Text In Here</td><td>

    Thank you'

      The following macro should do the job. It will not work correctly, if the column text contains '<' or '>', but this should be no problem, because for < and > as text the corresponding html entities should always be used.

      Attention! It also capitalize html entities, if the entities are not correct defined - & must be the word starting character and not a delimiter.

      InsertMode
      ColumnModeOff
      HexOff
      UnixReOff
      Loop
      Find RegExp "<td>[~<>]+</td>"
      IfFound
      ToCaps
      Else
      ExitLoop
      EndIf
      EndLoop
      Top
      Find MatchCase "<Td>"
      Replace All "<td>"
      Find MatchCase "</Td>"
      Replace All "</td>"

        If the tag is ever <td>...</td>, use this macro

        Code: Select all

        InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOn
"~@#"
Top
Find "<td>"
Key RIGHT ARROW
Key LEFT ARROW
StartSelect
Find Select "</td>"
Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW
Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW
Key Ctrl+LEFT ARROW
ToCaps
EndSelect
Top
Find "~@#"
Delete

            I tried the above example onto mine but it didn't work.
            I am trying to select all text in between these 2 tags
            <td id="lyrics" "class="song_text">
            and
            </td>

            Trying to copy it and then select the whole page and then paste and then save the file. I tried this macro but it isn't working.

            Code: Select all

            InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
UnixReOff
Find RegExp "^<td id="lyrics" "class="song_text"^>*^</td^>"
Copy
SelectAll
Paste
Save
            I know the 'copy' is wrong here. I also tried start select and end select but that didn't work either. Any help here please

              Looks like you are using an older version of UltraEdit where the most powerful regular expression engine - the Perl engine - is not available.

              There is no need to escape < and > with ^ because <> are not regular expression characters for the UltraEdit engine. But * means 0 or more characters except new line characters. So using * limits your search to single lines. If you want to select a block, use following macro:

              UnixReOff
              Find MatchCase "<td id="lyrics" "class="song_text">"
              IfFound
              StartSelect
              Find MatchCase Select "</td>"
              EndSelect
              EndIf
