PROPER Case Function

[Joe Caverly]

Here's a function that will convert an upper, lower, or mixed-case string to proper case;

proper=%@pshell[(Get-Culture).TextInfo.ToTitleCase("%$".ToLower())]

Proof;

e:\utils>echo %@proper[DAILY EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SUMMARY]
Daily Epidemiological Summary

Does anyone have a plugin - not that is dependent on power shell?

To recase text? TCC has @UPPER, @LOWER, and @CAPS built-in.

 

[Joe Caverly]

@CAPS does not convert to Proper case;

e:\utils>echo %@caps[DAILY EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SUMMARY]
DAILY EPIDEMIOLOGICAL SUMMARY

Maybe a @proper["test to convert"] which would handle Mc and other similar prefixes correctly..... McCarthy instead of just Mccarthy....

Try %@caps[%@lower[any OLD Text]] in TCC for the @proper described above. No, it won't do the right thing for McCarthy and friends.
