Hi, I've written a short regexp which will *count* how many capital letters are in a given string (the woefully simple: '/[A-Z]/') Although it's an English language web site, I'm curious how you'd count capital letters that span beyond just the standard A-Z. For example characters such as the Latin capital letter S with Acute. I'm not interested in covering all possible character sets, but I don't want to piss-off any Europeans who may register on the site and want to use one of "their own" capital letters. Anyone approached this before? Cheers, Rich

Rich: Can't say that I have, but try this off the top of my head: 1. Explode the string into two arrays (array1, array2); 2. Lowercase one array; 3. Use array_dif. 4 Count array_dif. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
