Recase() function

[JohnM]

Hi All,

I apologise if this has been asked elsewhere.

The recase() function doesn't work the way I expect when doing title case.

In the below example I expected the result to be: "Bbc The Making Of King Arthur" which would fall in line with the help. See attachment.

Am I misinterpreting what recase() should do or is there a setting I need to change?

Cheers
John

Ah ok. Thanks Highend!

Ah ok. Thanks Highend!

Are you unhappy with the changes? I might extend SC recase() to give you more control.

Another flag to disregard the entries of the tweak would be nice...

Went this way:

Code: Select all

    + SC recase enhanced: Added parameter "title_case_exceptions".
      Syntax: recase(string, [mode], [flags], [title_case_exceptions])
        title_case_exceptions:
          missing: Use the global defaults (as stored at key RenameTitleCaseExceptions)
          empty: Do not use any exceptions
          else: Use this ";"-separated list of exceptions, e.g. "a;an;the"
      Examples for Title Case:
        text recase("the caMel BITES the horse.", "t");                 //The Camel Bites the Horse. (factory default exceptions)
        text recase("the caMel BITES the horse.", "t", , "");           //The Camel Bites The Horse. (no exceptions)
        text recase("the caMel BITES the horse.", "t", , "the;bites");  //The Camel bites the Horse. (custom exceptions)
      Examples for Camel Case:
        text recase("the caMel BITES the horse.", "c");                 //The CaMel BITES the Horse. (factory default exceptions)
        text recase("the caMel BITES the horse.", "c", , "");           //The CaMel BITES The Horse. (no exceptions)
        text recase("the caMel BITES the horse.", "c", , "the;bites");  //The CaMel bITES the Horse. (custom exceptions)

Hi Don,

I think the change is a good one, but extending the function is a great idea. Thanks

Don, I have a query on the new behavior of recase, when it is used with a string that has a period in it, the function seems to always make the last word lowercase (maybe assumes its an extension?), should that happen even when the flag is not set? eg:

Code: Select all

 text recase("word.word.word.word", "t");	// EXPECT ALL TO BE TITLE CASE
 text recase("word.word.word.word", "t", 1);	// EXPECT ALL EXCEPT LAST WORD TITLE CASE

Yep, that's a bug. Fix comes.
