It's not broken, it's quite normal.  e.g. perl regexp \w includes
alphanumeric and '_' but not '-'.



My comment about pasting is: cut the software name, type "CSW", paste.
I wish it to result in package name.


I'd also like a machine capable transform.  I'm happy doing:
	pacakgeHome.findBySoftwareName("foobar").getPackageName();
just to get "CSWfoobar" when hitting the problem with a J2EE sledgehammer
but in simple scripts it would be useful to...

#!/bin/ksh

softwareName="foobar"
echo "software name: ${softwareName}"
packageName="CSW${softwareName}"
echo "package name from software name: ${packageName}"
echo "software name from package name: ${packageName#CSW}"

...this passed by long ago.

's/_/-/g' and the reverse can used in scripts but then the quick script
becomes more complicated than using my J2EE.
