How to ignore diacritics in scripted .Grep search

[akiva_atwood]

I know I can do it in a text search -- but I need pattern matching, which means grepping

Is it possible? I looked at findGrepPreferences and didn't see a flag...

Thanks

I don't think the option exists for GREP, but you don't really need it. You can just add optional diacritics to your GREP pattern.

Yep, ignoreDiacritics in findChangeTextOptions but not findChangeGrepOptions

You can use [[=a=]] to match 'a' and all accented variants (acute, grave, etc.). Same for all other letters. Could make for some awkward regular expressions, but you should be able to get it to work.

Assuming you want Hebrew diacritics, it would be something like this:

[\\x{0591}-\\x{05C4}\\x{05A2}-\\x{05C7}]{0,4}
