task clarification

I assume from the example, that the case is be be preserved, and the characters to be removed are also case sensative. It wouldn't hurt to mention that uppercase characters for the AEI are to be left intact. -- Gerard Schildberger 18:44, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

It seems to be implied by omission. Why change case unless told to? --Paddy3118 20:51, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
I didn't change case, I preserved it. But some people think that a character may be the same as a letter, and that's ambigous, letters can be upper or lowercase. It still doesn't hurt to state that. I realize that one can assume a lot from omissions, but not necessarily correct assumptions. It's only obvious to the person writing (er, not writing) the omissions. If the example wasn't shown, I would've assume strip meant to remove any outer characters, not inner characters. A lot of people have many assumptions about the words used, especially those languages which have a strip bif. -- Gerard Schildberger 20:56, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
