Subject: Re: Camel Case

Here is what I was going to suggest:

I would store the conversion information in a dictionary file as pairs of
data, with the "From" word in all caps. In order to perform conversion,
take
a word from the string being converted and convert the value to all caps,
then CHAIN to the dictionary file with the value in all caps.

If found, the "to" value would be returned in CamelCase format.


Sample Dictiionary file DDS:

UNIQUE
R @XLAT
WORDFROM 60A
WORDTO 60A

K WORDOLD


Example data:
WORDFROM WORDTO
------------------ ------------
AGRIFINANCE AgriFinance


WORDFROM
---------------------------------------------------------
THATWASTHEQUESTIONIWASGOINGOTASK

WORDTO
-------------------------------------------------------
ThatWasTheQuestionIWasGoingToAsk

If it's the first item from sjl then I would just create a dictionary of
either upper or lower cased words and their mixed case counter parts.
