equivalent of istitle() in python? Topic is solved

[shpj123]

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a script to loop through different cases with the same hotkey.
For that I need to detect the case a string is in.
I've googled a lot, but I failed to find a way in autohotkey to check for title case, something like the istitle() in python.

E.g.:
'This Is @ Symbol. >> true
99 Is A "Number"! >> true
PYTHON >> false


I will be really glad for any suggestions.
Best,
PJ

I'd guess you've to go with RegEx… . A quite crude workaround would be probably a construct of SubStr(), if var is lower/upper

thx for the quick reply!
I've got a better solution now with the help from discord:

Code: Select all

isTitleCase(param_input) {
    StringUpper, OutputVar, % param_input, T
    if (OutputVar == param_input) {
        return true
    }
    return false
}

Example using Format()

Code: Select all

isTitleCase(param_input) {
    if (Format("{:T}", param_input) == param_input)
        return true
    return false
}

shorter:

Code: Select all

isTitleCase(param_input) {
    return Format("{:T}", param_input) == param_input
}

and marginally faster (but not faster than the Stringupper one...)
