is there a way to convert "my house" to "My House" ?

[joeko]

i am looking for an way to convert an variable to uppercase. every word in uppercase.
for example: name = My Name Is Mr Gorden and not my name is mr gordon

and so on. the first word or letter is not a problem but all first letters ?
maybe splitting the variable and convert ?
the numbers of words in this variable is not big but changing from 1 to 5.

someone know a way ?

Try to make this with replaceAll with some magic pattern or split string to each word and apply toUpperCase() to each first letter, then ccncatenate all words

thx for reply,
replaceall convert every letter ?

can you write here how i split, convert to uppercase and set to a new variable ?

Code: Select all

t = 'test text';

r = split(t, '(?<=\W)|(?=\W)');

s = '';
for(word in r) {
  s = s + toUpperCase(left(word,1)) + toLowerCase(substring(word, 1));
}

log(t);
log(s);

There is some bug in my code, second word was not converted. Idea is clear, I think...

hi,
thx for help

i tried this code but only the first word is like i need.
the idea is not really clear because i am new in this ...world.
do you know where the bug is in this code ?

what do this "r = split(t, '(?<=\W)|(?=\W)');"
splitting yes but what do the "W" ?

\W is non-word character

i see
thx for the link and help

but i dont understand enough about it to find the bug in this code...
i get this message after convert from "test text" to "nullTest text"

what i have to change in the code to fix that so that i get "Test Text"?

[fagci]

Code: Select all

t = 'test text';

r = split(t, '(?<=\\W)|(?=\\W)');

s = '';
for(word in r) {
  p = toUpperCase(left(word,1)) + toLowerCase(substring(word, 1));
  log(p);
  s = s + p;
}

log(t);
log(s);

You will escape special char by extra slash

[joeko]

great it works
but the code change also the numbers. is it possible that the numbers stay untouched ?

[fagci]

Code: Select all

text = 'test text 123eee re456 345';

regexp = '(?<=\\W)|(?=\\W)';

words = split(text, regexp);

result = '';
for(word in words) {
  firstLetter = toUpperCase(left(word,1));
  rest = toLowerCase(substring(word,1));
  result = "{result}{firstLetter}{rest}";
}

log(text);
log(result);
