Force Gal to be case sensitive?

Is it possible to force GAL to be case sensitive?

By that I mean if you define Bob, it will only pick up Bob and not bob as well.

not without a code modification. Is it really important ?

Well no, its not essential, but it would be a handy option (for me anyhow).

For example, Im basicly using it as a glossary list on my website.
Theres common words in use that have a specific meaning in one context, but different when used in another.

It would be usefull to be able to prevent words out of context being linked.

hmmm. It might not be a bad idea to have it as an option. Ill look to adding it in a future release.

I just realized that case sensitivity would be very helpful to me. Any developments on this front?

There is a new version of GAL in the pipeline (version 5) that will allow you to specify multiple regexp to use. When that comes out you can create a new or modify an existing regexp pattern to easily make it case sensitive.

Saying that... Im not 100% sure when it will be out. Its not toooo far away though

Thanks, no minor tweaks to the code that I can make right now to hold me over? I have a workaround for this problem right now so I can wait patiently.

I could give you a workaround but it would make all your entires case sensitive

That would be fine. I am using it as a keyword library. Much appreciated!
