Hello ,
Please help to change "MCLAUREN" value as "McLAUREN" by using Perl Expression (PRXCHANGE)
I tried below code but didn't work for me
data _null_;
x = 'MCLAUREN';
y = prxchange("s/ (MC) /\u\L$1/i", -1, x);
put y=;
run;
Thanks in Advance
Look at the example on Page 9 of this:

I think you want to set your regular expression first like
re = prxparse('s/ (MC) /\u\L$1/i');
and then call it like they do
cleanname= prxchange( re, 1, oldname);

something like this
data _null_;
x = 'MCLAUREN';
y = prxchange("s/^(MC)(.+)/Mc$2/i", -1, x);
put y=;
run;
Or like this:
data _null_;
x = 'pEter MClAUREN & ian macIllIoMChadha';
y = prxchange("s/\b(MC|MAC)(\w)/\1\u\2/i", -1, propcase(x));
put y=;
run;
Result:
y=Peter McLauren & Ian MacIlliomchadha
data _null_;
x = 'MCLAUREN';
y = prxchange("s/^(MC)/\u\L$1/i", 1, x);
put y=;
run;
