[SOLUTION] - Function to change first character in string to Uppercase

[TheBigWeb 40]

Hi Guys,

 

I couldn't find a UBot command to do this so I wrote a quick function (uses Regex). The one included with UBot changes each word in the string to uppercase whereas this changes just the first letter of a string (sentence).

 

define $ucFirst(#pString) {
    return($replace regular expression(#pString, "^[\\s\\S]\{0,1\}", $change text casing($substring(#pString, 0, 1), "Upper Case")))
}

That function changes all the words first letters to uppercase. The function I did above does the first character of the sentence / string (not each word). If that makes sense.

 

'this string becomes' - 'This String Becomes' - UBot Function

'this string becomes' - 'This string becomes' - My function above.

You could also do that without regex:

define $ucFirst(#pString) {
    return("{$change text casing($substring(#pString, 0, 1), "Upper Case")}{$substring(#pString, 1, $subtract($text length(#pString), 1))}")
}

You are right
