Is it better to create this interesting component in JAVA or VB???

[Ganesh]

1. I have a text file (saila.txt) which contains some document in
"lowercase".
2. When I open a Word application and select the file (saila.txt), I want
to view the contents of the text file (saila.txt) to be in "UPPERCASE".

3. I want to create a component that will do the conversion from lowercase
to UPPERCASE just before the file content is loaded.

If you want my two cents... I would implement it in VB, so you can compile
it down to native code. You'll get better performance, especially with string
manipulations... I would personally prefer to implement it in C++, but I
think VB would be better than Java in this case.

Since you have already decided you want to use (Microsoft) Word, your best
course of action is to write a Word macro to upper-case the text as it is
loaded.

However, if you had stated your problem differently, e.g.

1. I have a text file (saila.txt) which contains some document in
"lowercase".
2. I want to view the contents of the text file (saila.txt) to be in
"UPPERCASE".
3. I want to create a component that will do the conversion from lowercase
to UPPERCASE just before the file content is loaded.

Then you would have a meaningful question.
