Title Case 1

[vasilek]

Hello. How to convert the text to a title case? Users usually type in all lower, all caps or mixed case.


Thanks you very much.

uc() #uppercase
--Paul


It's important in life to always strike a happy medium, so if you see someone with a crystal ball, and a smile on their face ... smack the fecker

 

[mikevh]

ucfirst #capitalize first char
lc #lowercase all chars
ucfirst(lc($var)) #title case

Or, an re solution:
$var =~ s/^(.)(.*)$/\U$1\L$2/;

 

[vasilek]

mikevh,

ucfirst(lc($var))

doesn't seem to be working for the sentence.

Thanks.

$var =~ s/\b(.)(.*?)\b/\U$1\L$2/g;

ucfirst(lc($var)) will titlecase only the first word. Didn't know you wanted to do a whole sentence.
For a sentence, chazoid's solution works.
Or, combining the two:
$var =~ s/\b(.*?)\b/ucfirst(lc($1))/eg;
