std::string title case

[pkirk25]

string name;
cin >name;

User enters "johnny appleseeD".

How can I use transform to reformat this as "Johnny Appleseed"?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like homework to me.

You can't, because >breaks the input on each whitespace,
i.e. name will only contain "johnny".

I'm 42 and long past homework. Thanks for taking the time to share you
expertise.

I didn't know that. The actual phrases I need to reformat are in
format "darkmoon faire-alliance" and I'd like to change them to
"Darkmoon Faire: Alliance". The colon is easy but the correct use of
transform is not.

I probably wouldn't use std::transform for that. Take a look at boost
(http://www.boost.org/libs/libraries.htm#String), particularly its regex
library, and see if that might suit your needs.

I would probably write my own function to do the convertion, I don't think
transform would do it.

Easy enough - thanks.
