DP_AlphaWords has been completely rewritten, updated and made even more useful... in its really specialized mostly useless kind of way. ;^)
This custom tag accepts a string and converts to a list of words (or a verbose script) which help to disambiguate the spelling of the string. In other words the string "cat" could be entered and return "Charlie Alfa Tango". This is helpful when creating service applications where support personal have to read information to users over the phone (new passwords, complex account numbers, unusual names, etc) or where print communication may be confusing (mixing lower case "L" and the number one or the letter "O" and the number zero, etc). The verbose output includes character class information as well such as "lowercase", "uppercase", "number", "symbol", etc. This new version adds symbol translation for most ASCII symbols (the character "}" will be translated to "Right Curly Brace") and nine alphabet sets (two currently official, six historical and two "surprises"). The CF version is here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/ColdFusion/Extensions/DP_A lphaWords/Index.cfm And, completely new, a JavaScript version is here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Extensions/DP_A lphaWords/Index.cfm I know that this is kind of esoteric, but it's come in handy for me on more than one occasion. I hope somebody else finds it useful as well.
