Acronym

Hi guys,

Do anybody know a way to crate acronym from a string by sylable.

Example:
Dim strTest as String
strTest = Acronym("Hello World")

strTest will be HW.

Note: by syllable and not by word, nor Ucase nor Space. I beleive it's hard to do.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Having spent 20 years in the military, there is no hard and fast rule one can use. Take these for example:
STRATCOM = Strategic Command
AFRES = Air Force Reserve
And even using common household acroynms:
TV = Television
USA = United States of America

You would need access to some searchable dictionary. Barring that I'd say it's impossible. BTW the acronym, by syllable, for "Hello World" would be HLW, since there are two syllables in Hello.

May I ask what kind of a program are you making?
