Along the same lines, if you just want to know if it is capitalized, you can say $all_caps = $str eq uc $str; Good Luck! Tanton -Original Message- From: Christopher Solomon To: Charles Lu Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 8/25/2001 7:05 PM Subject: Re: alternative to regex when checking for c

alternative to regex when checking for captitalization

Does anyone know if there is a built in function that allows you to check to see if all the characters in a string is capitalized or not? In other words is there a way to check to see if a string is capitalized without using regular expression? Thanks alot charles ___

What is the actual character applied when someone hits the return key in a TEXTAREA form field (in windows...if it matters)? That's the character I need to strip out. Thanks! On Sat, 25 Aug 2001 11:50:36 -0500, Rory O'Connor wrote: > If you always know it will be a \n, then you can do >$str =~

thanks all for your help. It is my understanding that chomp($var); will only strip the \n from the end of a string. I'm dealing with strings that could potentially be littered with newline characters. I have an o'reilly perl book, but it's not super clear on how to strip *all* newline character

You can check if a key is already in a hash table with Perl's exists() function. Have a look at 'perldoc -f exists' for details. Hope this helps. -- Marcus - Original Message - From: "Darfler, Jim (J.E.)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 8:05 PM

generation of individual ANSI characters in RTF via perl?

I want to generate RTF-documents where special characters that look like "a@" are translated into ANSI values depending on which font the user would like to have. I am using the module RTF::Writer to generate RTF-files from perl. The conversion as such is done via a hash of hashes (thanks Marc
