Ahh. Well when I was working with sendmail email addresses the practice was called munging. But I believe that text normalization is defined as the practice of modifying any arbitrary text to a standard representation. In this case user logins are all stored as lowercase, whitespace trimmed, left-shifted, single spaced token delimited, phrases. So that MYUSER == MyUser == myuser. It avoids much unhappiness with users. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
