Some software help...

[magician13134]

Ok, I'm working on a program somewhere between Notepad and Word, it'll probably end up similar to Wordpad, but I need some help.

I'm stuck on a few things. First is 'Fix captilization' it corrects your capital letters, but when it replaces them, the only way I could think of was to have it select that letter and then send the keystroke of the correct letter. So the problem with that is, it may leave your cursor in an odd place on the page... Here's that code:

Func CapCheck()
    $SentenceStart = 1
    $text = StringSplit(ControlGetText($mainWnd, "", $TextBox), "")
    For $i = 1 to $text[0]
        If $text[$i] = '.' or $text[$i] = '!' or $text[$i] = '?' Then $SentenceStart = 1
        If $text[$i] <> " " and $text[$i] <> "." and $text[$i] <> "!" and $text[$i] <> "?" Then
            If $SentenceStart = 1 Then
                $SentenceStart = 0
                If StringIsLower($text[$i]) Then
                    _GUICtrlEditSetSel($TextBox, $i-1, $i)
                    Send(StringUpper($text[$i]))
                EndIf
            EndIf
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc

I can't use the replace function or else things like:

"well, crap, this isn't working well"

would correct both 'well's, not just one (or correct the wrong one).

Any ideas?

That's all I'll ask for now, I'll try to fix the other minor issues until someone helps me with this. Thanks!

_Kurt is working on a spellchecker, which will deal with it.

That's not exactly what I had in mind. I hoped to write this all myself. I just wondered if there was a function to replace a specified character without moving the cursor.

What about seeing if it was after a full stop? or on a new line?
