Using editor regular expression search and replace, I need to subsitute "Bob" with "James" and "bob" with "james" at once, and I must avoid to replace partial matches like "ob" with "james" or "James". Is it possible? Thanks.

P.S. I'm using the Notepad++ editor and the Visual Studio IDE, but any suggestions for other editors/IDE are welcome.

Thanks, @Wiktor. I tried to use "(b)?(B)?ob" in find, and "(?1james:James)" in replace, and I checked the match case, but it replace also "ob" with "James". Any suggestion? – Luca Dec 23 '16 at 08:39
Use `(bob)|(Bob)` – Wiktor Stribiżew Dec 23 '16 at 08:40
