To convert the words of a sentence to capitalized form, put them inside a [Capitalize] context. Only the first letter of each word (any letter following a space) is capitalized. If the remaining letters in the word are uppercase, they will be changed to lowercase. If the word begins with a numeral, the numeral is left unchanged, and the rest of the letters will become lowercase. No attempt is made to be grammatically correct -- articles such as a, an, of are capitalized just like any other word. http://betadoc.smithmicro.com/CapitalizeContext.html -----Original Message----- From: WebCatalog Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf Of Ben Swihart Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 10:50 AM To: WebCatalog Talk Subject: ALL CAPS converted to All Caps - first letter capitalized only Has anyone got a script that will convert any text into text with each word having a capitalized letter?Ok, surely someone out there has encountered data sets that look like thisALLCAPS.DB :ID FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3 1 SOMETHING YELLED IN ALL CAPS 2 IT'S AWFUL I KNOW LIKE HUMANS CAN READ IN ALL CAPS So, what I want, is to display on the web this data in readable form, like this:[search db=allcaps.db&eqIDdata=1][founditems][SomeNiftyLowercaseConversion=here][field1] [field2] [field3][/SomeNiftyLowercaseConversion=here][/founditems][/search]Which would be:Something Yelled In All Caps.Is there a way to just capitalize the first letter?
