Thank you all for all the detailed replies - this ignorant American learned alot :)
Apologies, but my original post was poorly worded. What I meant by propercasing is hopefully a little more simple. I meant the process of propercasing text similar to vfp's proper() function which (ignoring its problems with punctuation) attempts to convert the first character of every word to an upper case letter. The above sentence passed through VFP's proper() function would be: "I Meant The Process Of Propercasing Text Similar To Vfp's Proper() Function Which (ignoring Its Problems With Punctuation) Attempts To Convert The First Character Of Every Word To An Upper Case Letter." We've been asked to 'proper case' single line text used in short report headings and in some types of lists. I'm wondering how this practice applies to YOUR non-English language - especially if there are accents or if you have words with camelCase or TitleCase situations? Are there language specific 'proper()' algorithms for YOUR non-English language or would a proper()-like function just wreak havoc on your content? Is there a better term than 'proper/propercase' to describe what I'm talking about? Thanks again for your feedback!
