Figure A-1

The default behavior of OpenOffice.org Writer is to carry out a case-insensitive match. As you can see in

Figure A-1, the Match Case check box is checked so that only the same case as specified in the regular

expression is matched.

For each character in the document, OpenOffice.org Writer checks whether that character is an upper-

case

L

. If it is, the regular expression pattern is matched. In OpenOffice.org Writer, a match is indicated

by highlighting of the character(s) — in this case, a single character — for each match, assuming that

the Find All button has been clicked.

How can you match a single character using JavaScript?
