Hi: I am in the process of implementing a program that turned commands from voice recognition software in to code that are entered in to an application. there are approximately 200 codes available in this particular sofware I am automating. Wile I could use boost::stringAlgo along with the functions available in the stl there must be a better alternative. To give an idea of howthis would work the user might say: conditional new line, and [l] would be placed in the current document onscreen. the user could say skip 5 lines and [sk5] would be entered.
