hey guys

Is there a function in Java that can convert a string in "ALL CAPS" format to a string in proper format . for example I have a string as "PHYSCHO PATH" and I want to convert it to "Physcho path"

Thanks

 
I know there is a .toUpperCase() and .toLowerCase(), but I want the first character of every work as Uppercase and rest lower.

any thoughts
 
More information might be needed, but would something like this work for you?:

Code:
myString = myString.substring(0, 1) + myString.toLowerCase().substring(1);

Slight alteration to the above :

mystring = mystring.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + mystring.substring(1).toLowerCase();

This will always create a String where the first char is upper case, and the rest lower case, and also only converts the cases on the relevant substring.

So the actual answer to the OP is: "No, there's not such a method in Java"
