Hm.. just a thought... if you put all the acronyms into a queue, and have some place to store the word-numbers for those.
In your example with "only" (ey.. where in the computer world ;)) 1 acronym you enqueue it and adds to some array or other data storage that the first acronym in the queue should be at word number 12 in the sentence. Now, use some fancy regexp to make the cases be the way they should be, and after that you can add the acronyms into the sentence again. Since this will lead to a lot of string concatenations you should use a StringBuilder. hth, Andreas Häber ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stefan Finch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2002 6:44 PM Subject: [DOTNET] Correcting The Case Of Strings Does anyone know of a good approach (or code snippet even) to correct the grammatical case of a string. The strings have been concatenated from several sources and are in a mess. However, I'll need it to ignore acronyms such that "the pointy headed Boss has Just come out with Yet Another TLA" becomes "The pointy headed boss has just come out with yet another TLA" and "the pointy headed Boss has Just come out with Yet Another T.L.A." becomes "The pointy headed boss has just come out with yet another T.L.A." I'm guessing I'll need a RegExp (in which case how do get it to leave acronyms alone).
