[Sentence case] better code ?

[White_Whale]

yes, this is poor code of mine
I just wondering another/better code, for fun, nothing serious..

Code: Select all

MsgBox % RegExReplace("aBc DeF", "i)([a-z])([a-z ]+)", "$U{1}$L{2}")   ; I am not considering "Abc Def"

Thanks

[EDIT] I have changed the title of this post from "Title case" to "Sentence case"

[flyingDman]

StringUpper has a Title Case option:

Code: Select all

clip := "aBc DeF"
StringUpper, clip, clip, T
msgbox % clip

@flyingDman
Thanks comment
But
Nop, As I wrote clearly (using code line comment), that is not I wanted. I have tested it already so I wrote that comment.

That shows the same result with

Code: Select all

MsgBox % RegExReplace("aBc DeF", "i)([a-z ]+)", "$T{1}")

@White_Whale, FYI - It wasn't as clear as you might think since the subject says title case. What you are looking for where only the first word is capitalized is known as sentence case.

@boiler thanks good comment. I have not know that the pharse "Sentence case" up until now. I'll change the name of this post properly, as you mentioned

actually, the first character is capitalized

[boiler]

Actually, it is said that a word is capitalized when the first letter of the word is capitalized. As in the rule "all proper nouns are capitalized." That rule doesn't mean "bill" should be "BILL". It means it should be "Bill". And it is generally not said that characters are capitalized. Letters and words are capitalized.

You win
I lose
Very nice

[White_Whale]

so
You do not have any idea about the topic ?
You just want to win at off-topic phrase wars ?

[boiler]

I'm not interested in any war. I simply offered corrections to your replies to flyingDman's and my posts. All of our posts were correct and matter of fact, and your replies were for some reason confrontational -- a somewhat harshly worded reply to him and talking about winning/losing/war to me. You may want to read back through all the posts and see whose posts could have been written in a more cordial manner.

Here is some code since you asked:

Code: Select all

MsgBox, % SentenceCase("aBc DeF")

SentenceCase(s) {
	StringLower, s, s
	return Chr(Asc(SubStr(s, 1, 1)) - 32) . SubStr(s, 2)
}

Hey White_Whale (aka IMEime aka Klarion),
my impression is that you are finally, but quickly, going off the rails again - like with your previous (now retired) accounts. Not only in this thread...

I would recommend to tone down your aggressions a bit, take a step back, perhaps have a nice relaxing tea and then only start posting again, if you feel like you want to be part of this community. Thank you very much and have a nice and calm weekend!

[White_Whale]

thanks
I will as always (I have some more "AKA"s than you know..)

Well, I know at least one more sleeper account of yours (I, for now, concentrated on mentioning your main (banned) accounts).
