When once walking in Wales I observed a Welshman having a vowel-movement 
behind a bush . . .

 I have a series of long strings of characters such as:

 LarrygubAndCheesemakemyfeetstink

 and I would like a happy little routine that could trot along each
 string
 and, for each character (and this is ONLY confined
 to the Latin alphabet, at the moment) tell me (or, more importantly,
 other scripts) whether it is a VOWEL or a CONSONANT.

 Of course, having learnt from Mark Waddingham about the effective nature
 of G & T s, I may end up answering my own e-mail . . .

 Thanks Mark, I knew you had more to tell me than "just" computer
 programming :-)

 Richmond.

Re: Sorting out the sheep from the goats

[Tore Nilsen via use-livecode]

I do not think that vowels are automatically detected, so you need to put the 
chars representing vowel sounds into a variabel tVowels . Run a repeat for each 
char tChar of the string and check if tChar is in tVowels, like this (using 
Norwegian vowels as an example)

put “aeioyæøå” into tVowels

repeat for each char tChar in tString
   if tChar is in tVowels then
  add 1 to tNumberOfVowels
  end if
  answer tNumberOfVowels
end repeat

Regards
Tore
