Case Sensitive Spell Check and Correction for Technology names

Question

I have 200 words of technology names (such as ASP.NET, C#, Java) which I have to spell check for proper naming conventions: Asp.Net becomes ASP.NET JAVA becomes Java Mysql becomes MySQL Jquery becomes jQuery Testng becomes TestNG Nodejs becomes Node.js Angularjs becomes AngularJS I used dictionarylike the link attached herewith But it takes around 4-5 seconds for correcting just 5 words.

My question is: 1. How to reduce the time?

Program is written in C#.

Yeah we really need to see your code. [Replace works just fine to fix this issue](https://dotnetfiddle.net/SBqTTb). — Lews Therin, Jan 16 '19 at 20:06

Did you try Regex.Replace, I think this is what you need ?

string input = "this is mYsql";
string output = Regex.Replace(input, "mysql", "MySQL", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

Result is "this is MySQL"

but this would fail with `ASP.NET`... – Daniel A. White Jan 16 '19 at 20:06

@DanielA.White can you elaborate why ? – Pac0 Jan 16 '19 at 20:07
`ASP2NET` would match if blindly used. – Daniel A. White Jan 16 '19 at 20:08
@DanielA.White But the OP specifically said that it's a capitalization issue. Automatically correcting misspellings is something else entirely. – Jim Mischel Jan 16 '19 at 20:09
@DanielA.White [It worked fine for me](https://dotnetfiddle.net/iuSp4e)... – Lews Therin Jan 16 '19 at 20:09
but the `.` in regex means match any char. – Daniel A. White Jan 16 '19 at 20:09
@DanielA.White Look at my fiddle. You can escape the `.` character with a backslash. – Lews Therin Jan 16 '19 at 20:10

@DanielA.White I see what you mean. You'd have to regex escape the match string. – Jim Mischel Jan 16 '19 at 20:10
I have attached the snippet and updated the question in a more precise manner. – Abhay Raj Malhotra Jan 17 '19 at 04:47
