Capitalize Proper Name
Is there a function that will normalize a proper name (i.e., capitalize the first letter and lower case the remaining) short of stepping thru the string letter-by-letter? I am working on a script to process file names that contain a person's name which may be upper, lower or a combination of cases and I need to create a variable that follows the "normal" capitalization rules.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Answer:
#DefineFunction NameCase(OldName)
Count = ItemCount(OldName," ")
NewName = ""
for x = 1 to Count
N = ItemExtract(x,OldName," ")
N = StrCat(StrUpper(StrSub(N,1,1)),StrLower(StrSub(N,2,-1)))
NewName = ItemInsert(N,-1,NewName," ")
next
return NewName
#EndFunction
