Read the original article Hit count: 167

Is there any library that achieves the following:

Convert

Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows Ultimate
Desktop Windows

to

Windows 4

The complicated part here is to recognize that "Desktop Windows" is an anomaly here and not count it. If nothing is added before the word "Windows", perhaps it can be counted but if there is something else and the suffix does not match any popular suffix, it can still be counted.

Maybe I am a little vague here but perhaps someone could have an idea about what I am talking about here. Any suggestions?
