Harry, I found this on Xysearch when you wrote a
program expecially for me.

Subject: Re: capital search
From: Harry Binswanger mailto:hb@xxxxxxxxhb@xxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 17:56:41 -0400 Suggestion: since xy files are (almost) pure
ascii, why not program what you want in perl and run it as a child process out
of XyWrite? Perl deals with regular-_expression_ wildcards, ascii ranges, etc.,
and would seem to be ideal for text tweaks that XyWrite's XPL doesn't
handle.
Morris: Here's a kludgey idea that would
work: I can write and compile a BASIC program that would identify whether a
letter is a cap, and if it is, put a unique symbol (such as ^) before it. Then
when you open the file in Xy, you'd run an XPL program to stop at every ^, and
then the pgm would give you options of what to do with it, and wipe out the ^
(or you could do a ci /^// yourself when satisfied all is right).
I'd be happy to write the program for you if you
are interested.
Do you still have a copy of this program.
With thanks
Morris
