Re: Sorting out the sheep from the goats

When once walking in Wales I observed a Welshman having a vowel-movement behind a bush . . . The noises he was uttering during this procedure were 100% vowels. Richmond. On 8/8/17 5:34 pm, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: If the Welsh are so averse to vowels, they ought to call themselves

Scrabble disagrees. Both words are in mainstream dictionaries as well. They are imported words. I think they are the only two words where W is a vowel. Of course, Scrabble considers zloty, qadi, and qwerty to be words. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 7, 2017, at 6:17 PM, Richmond Mathewson via

Re: Sorting out the sheep from the goats

Cwm is Welsh; in English it is spelt "combe". On Aug 7, 2017 11:08 PM, "Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode" < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > And the obscure word "cwm" uses w as a vowel. > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Aug 7, 2017, at 3:28 PM, Mike Kerner via use-livecode < >

I think you have an error in your code samples. Your vowel set should be "aeiouandsometimesy" On Mon, Aug 7, 2017 at 1:56 PM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Thanks Tore and Mike. > > Richmond. > > > On 8/7/17 8:52 pm, Mike Bonner via use-livecode

Re: Sorting out the sheep from the goats

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

Yes, here's "Mr Sanskrit" asking what is probably a very goofy question indeed: 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
