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.
