How would it parse "XMLSchema" ? You need to write down the rules before you try creating than regex for them. Try: 1. If there is a capital letter followed by one or more lowercase letters, then they all make one word. 2. If there is a string of uppercase letters at the end of a string, it is a word. 3. If there is a string of uppercase letters followed by lowercase ones, there are two words; the first is all the uppercase but one, the second is that uppercase letter and the lowercase ones. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn The map is not the territory, the dossier is not the person, the model is not reality, and the universe is indifferent to your beliefs. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
