Convert to UPPERCASE

DarthData

Fellow Notepad++ Users,

Could you please help me the the following search-and-replace problem I am having?

I have a file with multiple lines the have computer MAC addresses throughout. They are in lowercase format and I simply want to search the entire file and convert them to UPPERCASE.

The MAC address is in the middle of the lines. I am able to searach and replace, but in order to do the entire document, I end up repeating my code. MAC Example: e0:cb:bc:39:2e:3c
When done, I want it to look like this: E0:CB:BC:39:2E:3C

Here is the code I use, but it will only convert the 1st MAC.

<Action type=“3” message=“1700” wParam=“0” lParam=“0” sParam=“” />
<Action type=“3” message=“1601” wParam=“0” lParam=“0” sParam=“(…:…:…:…:…:…)” />
<Action type=“3” message=“1625” wParam=“0” lParam=“2” sParam=“” />
<Action type=“3” message=“1702” wParam=“0” lParam=“512” sParam=“” />
<Action type=“3” message=“1701” wParam=“0” lParam=“1” sParam=“” />

<Action type="2" message="0" wParam="42016" lParam="0" sParam="" />	     <!-- UPPERCASE			       -->

What do I need to add in order for it to repeat this through the entire file?

Thanks for your assistance.

Maybe another way to solve this problem would be to search with regular expressions like:
find: \b([A-Fa-f0-9:]{3}){5}[A-Fa-f0-9]{2}\b
replace with:\U$0
