NIST-mM-Task

SYNOPSIS

This program will go through a .tex file and convert all lower case "m"s to upper case and vice versa.

CODE EXAMPLE

This program works by looking at individual characters in each line, checking if the character is an m and changing it accordingly

for line in userfile:

        for i in range(0,len(line)):
        
            if line[i] == "M":
            
                word = str("m")
                
                newfile.write(word)
                
                print("m", end="")
                
                #characters being added to file printed for user convenience
                
            elif line[i] == "m":
            
                word = str("M")
                
                newfile.write(word)
                
                print("M", end="")
                
                #characters being added to file printed for user convenience
                
            else:
            
                word = str(line[i])
                
                newfile.write(word)
                
                print(line[i], end="")
                
                #characters being added to file printed for user convenience

#MOTIVATION This program was created to sort through a .tex document and process its content as according to the synopsis as part of the application process to the NIST DRMF intership for 2015

#INSTALLATION To run this program, copy the code from Github and paste it into Python 3.4.3, then paste save the python file to the save location as the file that is to be processed.

#TESTS Sample Running:

Sample input file:

There is a full moon

Sample input file name: moon

Output file:

There is a full Moon

Output file name: moonprocessed2.tex
