convert text first letter of multiple words to upper case

[kwstas13]

hello I found this script from robertcollier4 that capitalize the selected text with f1

Code: Select all

SendMode Input  ; Forces Send and SendRaw to use SendInput buffering for speed.

;Replace selected text with uppercase
f1::
	Clipboard = ; Empty the clipboard so that ClipWait has something to detect
	SendInput, ^c ;copies selected text
	ClipWait
	StringReplace, OutputText, Clipboard, `r`n, `n, All ;Fix for SendInput sending Windows linebreaks 
	StringUpper, OutputText, OutputText
	SendRaw % OutputText
        VarSetCapacity(OutputText, 0) ;free memory
Return

but how I can make this to convert the first letter (only) of the word to capital?
so if I select a text and press f2 for example the word welcome to be converted as Welcome. Any idea ?Thanks

Use:

Code: Select all

StringUpper, OutputText, OutputText, T

[kwstas13]

Use:

Code: Select all

StringUpper, OutputText, OutputText, T

well its ok but this works only for one word and not for multiple
the script I found works for multiple any other idea ?

[garry]

it works like user 'menteith' mentioned
mark text and use F2

Code: Select all

$F2::
Clipboard:=""
sendinput, ^c{right}
clipwait,2
b:=clipboard
StringUpper, c, b ,T
msgbox,%c%
b=
c=
clipboard=
return

an example for wikipedia

Code: Select all

b=li xIAng lAn
StringUpper, c, b ,T
StringReplace, c , c , %A_space%, _, All
run,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%c%
exitapp

Got some problems with that too. Is now added in the Template i design atm.

Alright really thank you guys I save the scripts for future use. I found textpad editor that actually can do these functions. It's good to know how these functions work. I appreciate your help and time.

Got some problems with that too. Is now added in the Template i design atm.

What a ridiculously long & complicated script to post for something so simple.

[garry]

it's a template

[SifJar]

it's a template

Yes, I can read. But that is still stupidly complex. IMO one of the best things about AHK is it's simplicity, and how you can do very impressive things with only a few lines of code. If you were to use a template like that for every script, you've instantly got an unwieldy and ugly long script, for very little real benefit. In addition, you're setting a bunch of stuff that you are probably only going to use in a small fraction of your scripts, which is pointless and inefficient.

remembers me Y2K problem, how to save expensive memory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem

...Many tricks were used to squeeze needed data into fixed-field 80-character records.
Saving two digits for every date field was significant in this effort.
In the 1960s, computer memory and mass storage were scarce and expensive...

ok, understand what you mean ( ... the best things about AHK is it's simplicity ... )

Anyone have a script that will make the first letter of every sentence capitalize? Say I type out a bunch of private notes into notepad then want to make it public so I want to properly edit it and capitalize. Is there a script that will do this for me?

If you search you will find a few solutions, i just googled convert text to sentences autohotkey:
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/7162 ... e-utility/
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/2443 ... -inverted/
https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/51153-sentence-case/

Read the threads for various solutions (in the last one there is a nice one by laszlo for example)

Happy Searching!

!^k:: ; Sentence case
StringLower, Clipboard, Clipboard
Clipboard := RegExReplace(Clipboard, "((?:^|[.!?]\s+)[a-z])", "$u1")
Send %Clipboard%
RETURN

thats what i was looking for, thank you guest
