Well, you are now asking for functions StringUpper and StringLower to
operate on pure numbers. What is the upper case value of 2?
The best thing to do would be to include some checking code within the
while loop to decide if the value of sWord is a string of alphabetic
characters or digits. If digits, don't call either StringUpper or
StringLower but pass the number straight through to the output.
The checking would get very messy very fast if you decided in the future
you wanted to include words which are made up of both letters and digits.
I'm using Jaws 10, and when I checked the while loop with your example, I
didn't get the number replaced with a null string, but with the sum of the
digits, so your mileage may vary with the next idea.
I've found a workaround which works with Jaws 10: concatenate each iWord
with a trailing blank space. With a number, this seems to fool the
case-changing functions and the number is passed through unchanged. It also
means that you don't have to explicitly add a space when building up the
output string.
