I think you mean changing the case of the source files?
I had to do this across a merged webhelp project and it was
not a fun ride.
- The files themselves have to be changed.
- All references to them have to be changed.
- RH's internal files have to be aware of those changes.
The difficulty arose in my case because I had links in one
project to files in another project. Ordinarily if you change a
filename in a project, RH amends all the links to that file and its
internal files. If you just change the case though, it might appear
to take but when you reopen the project, it has not. You have to do
the old two stage process, Filename.htm to filename1.htm to
filename.htm. That works and does all the other updating for you.
The only other way involves writing a regular expression (a
formula that finds text that meets the criteria) and then
manipulates it. I had, and may still have, one that worked for me
but to go that route involves:
1] Deleting the CPD.
2] Purchasing a program called PowerGrep and educating
yourself how it works.
3] Using PowerGrip to run the regular expression against all
the files except images and certain other files.
4] Prayer
5] Reopening the project.
6] Pulling out a copy of the backup you made and repeating
that process a few times until you get it right.
You might just find it is quicker to rename the files
manually and let RH do the tidying up.
