I need some help please.

I have some cipher text, like Abc dEf ghI for example. In order to simplify deciphering, i convert all to lower case.

Therefore, my decoded message become like: i am a boy.
Anyone can advice me how to retain or get back the cap letter, for example my original msg is: I am a Boy.

-----------------------------
For my deciphering,
I put letter a-z into an array.
I make sure the cipher letter match letter in my array, then i decipher using the keyword.

I'm thinking of making another array for cap letter A-Z, so i dont need to convert to lowercase beforehand; but i feel that's very stupid becos each cipher text letter i need to comare again 52 letter!

Anyone advice, thank!

Lcase is to put in lower case
Ucase is to put in upper case


did that help?

Hello,

Lcase and Ucase would modify the whole text...
I presume you are looking for using back to Ucase only for the letters which were on Ucase before the transformation of the whole text using Lcase !

It sounds like homework to me...

I will then content myself by saying that you need to use a loop before the Lcase transformation and to memorize the position of each letter affected by lowcase ...

It's easy...

If you still have the original (encoded) string, you could step through it one character at a time (Mid$() function, checking the ascii (Asc() function) value of each character. If that number indicates a capital, then cap the corresponding letter in the new (decoded) string as you step through in parallel.

EDIT: If you'v already got each character in an array cell, that's even easier. You don't need Mid$() at this point: just loop through your array.

Thk to all who replied to my thread. moa, ElderKnight and madcat1990.

hi moa, you're half right, this is not my homework, if it is, i properly wont even post, haha. It's my assignment.

Btw, i found a solution, it took me almost a day to figure out this simple solution, i nearly wan to hit myself for such an easy thing.

All i have to do is before before my Lcase code, i put a boolean, ya just 1 line, a boolean........
