guys, i'm wondering if there is a script that i could run my plaintext files thru that would capitalize thef first letter of each sentence [[ assuming the character wasn't already a cap!]] more and more, in recent years, i have posted questions or written things that have been sloppily or casually hacked together in all lower case. this filter would have to determine what was and was not a sentence. or a sentence fragment. [ai]spell can catch "i've" and suggest "I've", etc. ideas? -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
