If your words are in your data base already along with your pronunciations, then your job just got much easier.

I am just guessing here, as I don't know the db schema you have...
The approach remains the same whether you decide to use the DB or not.
A database view will give you a long term solution. Combine that with Perl and you can do anything you want very quickly...
Based on your last post, you have found what you were looking for which is what counts!

Have a good one...

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
