InitCaps() proposal [message #31899]

Hello Mirek

Now InitCaps() function converts the first letter after a space to upper, and converts the rest to lower.

However there are problems if there are punctuation marks.

For example InitCaps("Lennon ,John") = "Lennon ,john"

This could be solved changing

	spc = IsSpace(c);

with

	spc = !IsLetter(c);

Best regards
Iñaki

Right. Change !IsLetter(c) with !IsLeNum(c).

BTW the same problem solved from completely different POV:
"Lennon ,John" is wrong string typographically anyway, special characters like dots, commas, etc. should follow the previous letter immediately and they should have trailing space.
So the correct string is "Lennon, John". Razz

Well, another example

InitCaps("Charlotte Fitz-Stuart") == "Charlotte Fitz-stuart"

This is not right Smile

Right. Change !IsLetter(c) with !IsLeNum(c).

You mean !IsLetter(c) && !IsDigit(c), right? (Not the same as IsAlNum).
