There are a few problems with this. If you use split and join, some white space characters will be ignored. The built-in capitalize and title methods do not ignore white space. >>> ‘There is a way’.title() ‘There Is A Way’ If a sentence starts with an article, you do not want the first word of … Read more
This will capitalize all word’s first letters, and letters immediately after an apostrophe. It will make all other letters lowercase. It should work for you: str_replace(‘\’ ‘, ‘\”, ucwords(str_replace(‘\”, ‘\’ ‘, strtolower($last_name))));
Edit Eureka! Literally my first SQL function. No warranty offered. Back up your data before using. 🙂 First, define the following function: DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS lowerword; SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators=TRUE; DELIMITER | CREATE FUNCTION lowerword( str VARCHAR(128), word VARCHAR(5) ) RETURNS VARCHAR(128) DETERMINISTIC BEGIN DECLARE i INT DEFAULT 1; DECLARE loc INT; SET loc = … Read more
Apache Commons StringUtils.capitalize() or Commons Text WordUtils.capitalize() e.g: WordUtils.capitalize(“i am FINE”) = “I Am FINE” from WordUtils doc
This function: “Proper Cases” all “UPPER CASE” words that are delimited by white space leaves “lower case words” alone works properly even for non-English alphabets is portable in that it does not use fancy features of recent SQL server versions can be easily changed to use NCHAR and NVARCHAR for unicode support,as well as any … Read more
The following regex works for all of the above examples: public static void main(String[] args) { for (String w : “camelValue”.split(“(?<!(^|[A-Z]))(?=[A-Z])|(?<!^)(?=[A-Z][a-z])”)) { System.out.println(w); } } It works by forcing the negative lookbehind to not only ignore matches at the start of the string, but to also ignore matches where a capital letter is preceded by … Read more
There is a build-in base-R solution for title case as well: tools::toTitleCase(“demonstrating the title case”) ## [1] “Demonstrating the Title Case” or library(tools) toTitleCase(“demonstrating the title case”) ## [1] “Demonstrating the Title Case”
You are not assigning your changes to the array again, so all your efforts are in vain. Try this: function titleCase(str) { var splitStr = str.toLowerCase().split(‘ ‘); for (var i = 0; i < splitStr.length; i++) { // You do not need to check if i is larger than splitStr length, as your for does … Read more
Try this: function toTitleCase(str) { return str.replace( /\w\S*/g, function(txt) { return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase(); } ); } <form> Input: <br /><textarea name=”input” onchange=”form.output.value=toTitleCase(this.value)” onkeyup=”form.output.value=toTitleCase(this.value)”></textarea> <br />Output: <br /><textarea name=”output” readonly onclick=”select(this)”></textarea> </form>
How would I be able to capitalize the first letter of each word and lower case the incorrectly capitalized letters? ucwords() will capitilize the first letter of each word. You can combine it with strtolower() to first lowercase everything. For example: ucwords(strtolower(‘HELLO WORLD!’)); // Hello World!
