Is there any easy way to create an acronym from a string?
First_name Middle_name Last_name => FML first_name middle_name last_name => FML First_name-Middle_name Last_name => F-ML first_name-middle_name last_name => F-ML
Does language-agnostic means you have to use pseudocode? If not, then in Ruby:
'First_name-Middle_nameLast_name'.gsub('-', ' - ').gsub(/\B[A-Z]+/, ' \&').split(' ').map { |s| s[0..0] }.join.upcase => 'F-ML'If it turns out the lack of space in the third example is a typo, you can skip the second call to
gsub(with the ugly regexp.)
