Scott, SM> can you list the conditions in pseudocode where you want to change a SM> lower-case character to an uppercase character? This is part of the problem. There are a lot of complex rules in different cultures with many exceptions- and I can't find them documented anywhere. Even once you have gathered them, coding them is non-trivial. One of the Perl solutions uses a full-scale token based parser. The other is less resource intensive, but a bit less accurate. Does anyone know how to get the source code out of Cpan? I can only get at a bytecode version. It shouldn't be too hard to port to PHP, I guess, if no-one has done it already. Geoff Caplan Advantae Ltd
