HI Paul, Thanks for the reply.
Applying capitalization rules to names by itself is easy. What defeats the effort is that there are no consistent rules for name capitalization, only inconsistent ones.
What my case is that I have came across a list of names that I need to use and all of the names were in caps. From there anything is a step in the right direction. As you know, anytime you parse anything in bulk there will be exceptions to the rule. My goal would be to just pick the most common usage. If von Dielengan is supposed to be VonDielengan in one case or Von Dielengan in another is ok, it can be manually retouched later. The CPAN class that someone posted earlier has some good points except its not in PHP. I will be working on some code sometime over the next 3 to 5 days and might send it to you if you are willing to look at it. Also, this would be a good work around for those moogles that must use ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME ;). It could give them the choice to pick the right capitalization.
