That image link isn't working for me. Can you provide a working link? You might have accidentally set the image to private or deleted it.

this work?

Ah, I see your problem. You pasted too much of it into the left side. It should just be ([A-Z])\B on the left and $1- on the right. Does that make sense?

oof I should've double-checked that as well. But thank you so much! I appreciate it!

JEEZ thats confusing but i feel like its really helpful for more complicated quirks then again i dont yet have a set-in-stone quirk so
I DONT NEED THIS WORK OF BEAUTY
though i cant figure out why the "o"'s at the beginning of words skip the space and stick to the words before it sometimes
example: WORK OF up there by BEAUTY
and yes theres a space just in case anyone was gonna ask

Hey there, sorry for the delayed response, but the reason you're having that issue is because you have a space in your quirk setup.

set="o=*, O=*" doesn't replace "O" with "*", it replaces " O" with "*". If you remove the space like so, that will fix your issue.

[quirk=pre="" set="o=*,O=*" end="" col="#820044"]

Is there a way to replace whole words or phrases by any chance? I have character ideas that would actively benefit from such a thing.

Yes, and in fact it's pretty easy to do! Did you have an example in mind?

Hey, hi! A friend of mine has a real neat idea for a quirk but I'm scratching my head trying to think of a way to automate it, so I figured I'd come here for some possible advice if you're still active.

Basically, every instead of the letter o is capitalised, and surrounded with double carets, like so:

Quote:^^sO^^, i ^^thOught^^ this ^^wOuld^^ be a ^^gOOd^^ idea

The tricky part is making sure that only the words containing "O" are surrounded by the carets. Do you maybe have any ideas for a solution? Thanks!

Sure thing! I would use a simple replace for capitalizing the o's (i.e., o to O), and then the following regex replace will do the rest!

Code:

(\w*O\w*) to ^^$1^^

If you want it to keep apostrophes inside the carets, then you can modify it like this.

Code:

([\w']*O[\w']*) to ^^$1^^

Hope this helps!

Works like an absolute charm, thank you so much! Have a great week, you lifesaver. (The friend in need is also very adamant about her thank yous!)

In light if steven universe, changing the word God or goddess to diamond.
Siberite: Oh my diamond. why can't you sit still and not insult me before i leave the room at the very least?

Hi, I'm not sure if this thread is still active, but I've been having some trouble creating a quirk that alternated the capitalisation of every word, ex: "IM just NOT sure WHAT your ISSUE is MAN"
I've been attempting to regex it out but unfortunately I'm falling short and any help would be appreciated!
