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

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...

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

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);
