proper
Definition: | string res = proper(string s, method="CAPITALISE") |
Description: |
Perform selected upper/lowercase operations on a string.
s: the string to be modified method: one of "LOWER","UPPER","CAPITALISE","SENTENCE","INVERT". Obviously LOWER/UPPER overlap functionally with lower()/upper(), but it might be useful to dynamically specify such options at runtime. SENTENCE is far from perfect, INVERT has (potential) use in Edita/Edix, to correct something just typed in with the wrong caps lock setting, and it is probably not a bad idea to retry failed passwords using that option. |
pwa/p2js: | Supported. |
Example: |
constant s = "this is England. so there", methods = {"LOWER","UPPER","CAPITALISE","SENTENCE","INVERT"} for i=1 to length(methods) do printf(1,"%s (%s case)\n",{proper(s,methods[i]),proper(methods[i])}) end for -- Output: -- this is england. so there (Lower case) -- THIS IS ENGLAND. SO THERE (Upper case) -- This Is England. So There (Capitalise case) -- This is england. So there (Sentence case) -- THIS IS eNGLAND. SO THERE (Invert case) |
Implementation: | See builtins\pcase.e (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation. |
