Hi
Perhaps an odd request to come from the English-speaking world but I am processing some text that comes from certain European countries which can include accents. Is there a default set of characters that includes such characters that occur from time to time in non-English languages? Particularly if it is also case-specific.
ie if c in ['A'..'Z'] ... will throw a wobbly if presented with umlaut or grave accents but I want to have either (a) an automatic translation into the unaccented character (it is just used for storing) or (b) an extended set of (say) upper-case accented characters. Even just the accented characters themselves since I could obviously extend the basic set.
After all, UpCase and LoCase recognise accents ...
TIA
John
