UpperCase Text

[RepCad]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a function in Autolisp like "PROPER" function in excel. this function in excel sets the first character in a text string to uppercase, like :

test >> Test

t >> T

autolisp >> Autolisp

pc >> Pc

 

Is there the function in Autolisp?

I think you mean titlecase .

(strcat (strcase (substr "test" 1 1)) (substr "test" 2))

(load "TcaseSup.lsp")(acet-tcase-change-string str "Title")

Code above requires Express Tools installed. Used by the TCASE (Express Tool). http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2021/ENU/?guid=GUID-085CF0C0-639C-4A4C-A2FC-CD885A7FDA38

FWIW, The proper function in excel will make a sentence title case. Tharwat's code will only change the first character.

Yes, you are right, but my text strings isn't a sentence, if you look at my examples, they are only one word.

Sounds good .. just bringing it up because you referenced the 'PROPER' excel function.
