For the sake of simplicity I would write something like this:
And so on for each tag name you need to convert.

Trouble with that one Duncs is that it will uppercase any filenames and if the filename is case sensitive it could all fail.

Kevin (and Duncs),
All html tags are only one word.
It is true that my regex won't uppercase the attributes but then that was not asked for.
If we wish to address the attributes as well then that is another question but I, like Ishnid, have to wonder about the sanity of this type of operation for two reasons.
Firstly, as Ishnid rightly points out, the general preferrence for tags would be to lowercase them, not uppercase them.
Secondly there are many modules that are designed for processing html and maybe we should be looking at those if we need anything more complex than the uppercasing or lowercasing of the tag alone.

["]As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered. I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs.["]
