texte = FYI: The only way I've found to compare case on a word via WebDNA is through the use of ENCRYPT. The WebDNA if/showif comparisons are all case-insensitive, so BOB is the same as bob. Encrypt, without a specified seed, creates different values for uppercase letters than lowercase letters, so the encrypted values can be tested for equality. To make this test easy, I have a function called "isUpper": [function name=isUpper] [if "[url][encrypt][params_string][/encrypt][/url]"="[url][encrypt] [uppercase][params_string][/uppercase][/encrypt][/url]"] [then][return]1=1[/return][/then] [else][return]1=0[/return][/else] [/if] [/function] To test whether a word is all uppercase (or more specifically, contains no lowercase letters - could contain numbers or punctuation), I do something like this: [listwords words=[mytext]] [if [isUpper [word]]][then] [word] is all uppercase [/then][else] [word] contains lowercase letters [/else][/if] [/listwords] - Brian -- Brian Fries, BrainScan Software -- http:// www.brainscansoftware.com -- On Nov 23, 2005, at 5:13 PM, Patrick McCormick wrote: > The all-caps will be random medical acronyms.
