I think you misunderstood me, I meant that the problem is more complicated than the original thread suggested. I'm a computational linguist and have not worked heavily with low level string/character programming, I've worked more on the high level end. Unicode as you know have some case information included, but it will still be heavily dependent on the Locale for wich you develop. That said there are numerous string search algorithms, but I would guess that you'd need to adapt them for each of the locales (and encodings if a locale use more than one) that you develop for? - Veronica -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
