From: Chris Newman on 24 Jul 2006 23:03 I have 1500 records in a file. I know how to read the file EOF etc Here is a typical record Barkell, William James ps Lone Pine Gardens, Reid I want to convert the first occurrence of a mixed case word to all upper case. Could someone oblige please. Have tried the substitution but it good at finding the word but not at handling the replacement of individual letters which I require
