RE: testing on case
Well - what is the value of z...
If your using z rather than "z", then, maybe there is some issue with
the value of whatever you are putting into the variable z.

That's weird, right? When I do this in the messagebox or in a button
script:
put matchText( z, "^[A-Z]")
I definitely get "false" returned.
But when I do this in the messagebox
put matchText( z, "^[aA-zZ]")
I get true. This is the way I would expect it to behave.

That returns "false" for me. You'll need to do it like this to cover
upper

matchText(z,"^[aA-zZ]")

The expression matchText( z, "^[A-Z]") will return true if (and only
when) the first character is an ASCII capital letter. The "^" matches
the beginning of the string (or line). A more exact pattern is "\A"; I
used "^" because it might be more familiar. The immediately following
pattern [A-Z] matches any letter in the range A-Z in ASCII. It must
match right after the previous pattern match, that is, the beginning.
There is no pattern matching for the end of the string so the rest of
the string z does not matter. That is, matchText() returns true if the
pattern occurs anywhere in the string, not just if it matches the whole
string. (Use \A and \z to match the ends to make a pattern match the
whole string.)
You can find more info on regular expressions here:
http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlre.html
But you have to skip over all the perl specific parts.
You can find more specific information on exact usage of the actual
library used in Revolution and (I assume) Dreamcard here:

the unicode and UTF-8 paragraphs, too, for now.

This is consistent with testing whether the first character is a
capital (ASCII) letter.
The regex looks good.
But when I do this in the messagebox
put matchText( z, "^[aA-zZ]")
I get true. This is the way I would expect it to behave.
put matchText( "mom", "^[aA-zZ]")

true

==>
true
put matchText( "=Mom", "^[aA-zZ]")
==>
false
put matchText( "\Mom", "^[aA-zZ]")
==>
true
Here is what is going on. The pattern [aA-zZ] will match any of these
letters:
a
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWZYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Z
The range portion is usually environment dependent and depends on the
collating order or the coding order used in an implementation. For
ASCII and code sets that are supersets of ASCII, the pattern A-z would
result in matching the middle line above.
charToNum("A")==> 65
charToNum("\")==> 92
charToNum("z")==> 122
An alternative that might be better for the future is this:
matchText( "mom", "^[[:upper:]]")
or better
matchText( "mom", "\A[[:upper:]]")
The matching is currently ASCII, but the library can handle UTF-8,
somewhat, and if Revolution is ever extended to handle that, that
pattern should be ready. It might be that the library will also be
extended to handle other popular high codes.

Re: testing on case
Are you trying to test the first letter only, or the entire string? The proposals so far only test the first character of the string. If you need the whole thing to be uppercase: function uppercase ofText set the caseSensitive to true repeat for each char ch in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" if ch is among the chars of ofText then return false end repeat return true end uppercase Now you can do things like: if uppercase(ofText) then -- whatever end if or to test the first char of each word: function wordcase ofText set the caseSensitive to true repeat for each word w in ofText if char 1 of w is among the chars of "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" then return false end repeat return true end wordcase and similarly, if wordcase(ofText) then -- do something end if On Dec 8, 2004, at 4:55 PM, Dar Scott wrote: On Dec 8, 2004, at 2:46 PM, Dar Scott wrote: If you must avoid a function (sniff, I like functions), then consider this: if matchText( param(x), "^[A-Z]") then put xxx else put x or this (if useUnicode is not true and you know it starts with a letter) if charToNum( param(x) ) < 97 then put xxx else put x To me a function is more readable.

I hoped that there is a if param(x) "is upperCase" then put xxx else put x I don't understand why a function won't work. Here is a simpler function that you can apply to just a word: function isUpperCase w constant capitalLetters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" set the caseSensitive to true return char 1 of w is in capitalLetters end isCapitalized if isUpperCase( param(x) ) then put xxx else put x If you must avoid a function (sniff, I like functions), then consider this: if matchText( param(x), "^[A-Z]") then put xxx else put x Dar Dar Scott Consulting http://www.swcp.com/dsc/ Programming Services ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
