Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to capitalise all words in a string
that are seperated by spaces. The string is variable and not the same
every time hence I cant use the Ucase function as I wont know the
exact position of the start of each word.
Cheers....John

? Why won't UCase work? Please provide an example string, and SHOW the
result you wish to obtain. Do you wish to do proper casing (capitalize only
the first letter of each word)?

Because OP wants the first letter of each word uppercase, the rest
lowercase. Something like this might do it in VBScript (this is not
tested!!):
's1 is a string containing blank-separated words.
'The first letter of each word is to be capitalized
set re = new RegExp
re.pattern = " [a-z]"
re.global = "true"
re.replace(s1, ucase($1))

Where do you see that in his post? Why do you leap from "capitalise all
words " to "first letter of each word uppercase"? He could just as easily
have wanted something like this:
abcd efg hijkl mn op
to become this:
abcd EFG hijkl MN op
Or something equally bizarre.
I congratulate you for going to the trouble of writing that code based on a
guess about what the OP wanted. I hope your guess was correct so your time
was not wasted

Exactly why I post links to existing code instead of writing it over and
over again. :-)
After all, if it's not what they wanted (and even sometimes when it is),
I'll hear about it... :-)
Sorry, I explained this poorly. Yes I did want just the first letter of
each word capitalised and Im using VBScript.
Thanks.

It is an easy and fair deduction to make from the OP: "I can't use the
Ucase function as I wont know the exact position of the start of each word"
can only mean that he wants to capitalize the start of each word. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Repost - as some readers took got sidetracked.
To save me re-inventing the wheel, does anyone have a function to
capitalise each word in form data? I was thinking along the lines of
capitalise the first letter of the string, then any other letter after a
space or hyphen.
So many users seem to think that just because they are online they can
use addresses like "8 brown road, chatham, kent" and so I have to
manually change them.

I have a program that reads from a file. In the file are a series of
words. I read in all the words into a string array, find the average
length, count the number of words, display the longest word and how long
it is, and display the smallest word and how long it is. All that is
working fine, but what I need to do it format certain words that contain
a period at the end of them (ex: a word at the end of a sentence), words

I code in Rexx on the mainframe which has 2 built-in functions: word(s,i) &
words(s).
word(s,i) returns the ith word in the s(tring), and words(s) returns the
number of words within the s(tring).
Is there something equivalent in C#, preferably built-in (assumed better
performance), or sample code?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have a question about strcmp(). I have four words, who need to be
compared if it were two strings. I tried adding the comparison values
like '(strcmp(w1, w2) + strcmp(w3, w4))', where w1 and w2 make up the
first string and, w3 and w4 make up the second string. I do not want
to allocate memory, then put the words together to create a string
only to facilitate strcmp() comparison.
My question; Does anyone know how to get the...

Hi,
I have an exercise that requests the following:
Write a function that reads words from an input stream and stores them
in a vector.
Use that function both to write programs that count the number of
words in the input,
and to count how many times each word occurred.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
