Arbitrary mask with capital letters

I have a text field where the entry needs to be AA99A, or A99A in arbitrary mask, but I want to have the letters in caps. If I use the arbitrary mask, I can't put in caps.
But if I use the custom keystroke script, I can change the letters in caps but then I don't know how to get that entry in the custom format script.

I get that I need to add a script in the custom keystroke, as a matter of fact I put this code in the custom keystroke: event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();
However I don't know how to write the script to only allow 1 or 2 letters, followed by 2 numbers and then another letter.

Table entries only with capital letters

Hi
I have created a table with some entries.One of these is type char length 65.My problem appears when i try to add entries to my table in this field,it will automatically transform them in capital letters.Even if i write with small letters,when saving,it will save my text with capital letters.How can i change this?
thank you.

Hi Seba,
Make below change in the DOMAIN for that field
Domain
Defination Tab
Tick Lower Case Checkbox of Output Characteristics..
Use
When this attribute is activated, you can enter both upper and lower
case letters; conversion to upper case does not then take place. Use of
this attribute only makes sense with character formats.
Hope it will solve your problem..
Thanks & Regards

Issue with capital letters

Hi folks!
I usually make translations of video materials in my language (italian), so I usually open Word for Mac and Quick Time Pro together.
Since I write these translations in capital letters, to make them easier to read by voice talents, I noticed that, in last Quick Time updates, with caps Lock inserted the transport keys J, K, L don't work, and the keys I and O (to loop a sequence) either.
Have you ever heard about it?
Is anybody able to suggest a work-out?
Thanx in advance!

Not really a workaround or a solution, but two things to consider...
1) DOING SCRIPTS IN ALL CAPS IS AN ARCHAIC PRACTICE WHICH DATES BACK TO THE STONE AGES WHEN THE ONLY WAY TO GET LARGE TEXT WAS TO USE A PRIMARY TYPEWRITER WHICH WAS INCAPABLE OF PRODUCING LOWER CASE TEXT. I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MIXED CASE IN A LARGE FONT SIZE, WHICH IS ACTUALLY MUCH EASIER TO READ THAN ALL-CAPS, HAS STILL NOT BECOME THE WORLDWIDE STANDARD. THIS PARAGRAPH IS IN CAPS NOT BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO SHOUT, WHICH IS THE USUAL INTERPRETATION ON THE INTERNET, BUT TO DEMONSTRATE A POINT: READING THIS PARAGRAPH IS ACTUALLY MADE MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE CAPS AS THEY OBSCURE THE SYMBOLS, THE SENTENCE ENDINGS, AND ANY OTHER METHODS WHICH MIGHT BE USEFUL FOR EMPHASIS.
THAT SAID, IT MAY NOT REALLY BE YOUR CHOICE. OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH WHATEVER STANDARDS ARE ESTABLISHED BY YOUR CLIENT, EVEN IF THOSE STANDARDS DON'T REALLY MAKE SENSE.
2) Have you considered getting yourself a Shuttle Express or Shuttle Pro controller? I'm trying to remember the manuf...I think it's Contour Design or something like that. Yeah, here it is: http://www.contourdesign.com It's a multimedia controller which plugs into the USB port and emulates a jog/shuttle control found on a professional VCR. The neat thing about it is that all of the buttons and functions are completely programmable, and you can even use it to fire off AppleScripts. I've got the Shuttle Express which has five buttons (the Shuttle Pro has "a whole bunch"), and the really cool thing about it is that because you can program it on a per-application basis or on a global basis. Even cooler is that the device focus does not necessarily follow the application focus, but it does follow the mouse pointer.
(Okay, Dave, what the heck does all that mean?)
What that means is that not only can you use it as a bi-directional jog/shuttle controller for QuickTime, not only can you program the buttons for, say, set-in, set-out, play-forward, loop, stop...but I'm pretty certain that you can set it up so that while you are TYPING MERRILY AWAY IN ALL CAPS IN MICROSOFT WEIRD, it can still control QuickTime Player *even though QuickTime Player is not the foreground application*.
It isn't really a solution or a workaround to your problem, but it's a tool that might be beneficial to your workflow.
Disclaimer: That's an unsolicited endorsement. I don't sell hardware, I have no connection whatsoever to Contour Design, and can't think of any possible way to benefit financially from giving this advice. I do own a Shuttle Express and think it's a cool little gadget.

How to map small letters with capital letters????

Hi,
In my application i have to filter the element in the JList.......
The filtering techniques i used have done the correct job .....
But i had the problem that Jlist contains the elements with Titlecase...when i give the small 'a' in the textfield i should require to display element with starting with A element
DocumentListener listner = new DocumentListener() {
public void insertUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
javax.swing.text.Document inse = e.getDocument();
try {
lastsearch = inse.getText(0, inse.getLength());
filter(lastsearch);
} catch (Exception tt)
tt.printStackTrace();
public void removeUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
javax.swing.text.Document inse = e.getDocument();
try {
lastsearch = inse.getText(0, inse.getLength());
filter(lastsearch);
} catch (Exception tt)
tt.printStackTrace();
public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e) {
jTextField5.getDocument().addDocumentListener(listner);
jList1.setModel(listmodel);
the filter method contains the following code;
void filter(String search) {
listmodel.clear();
for (Object element : collect) {
if (element.toString().indexOf(search, 0) == 0) {
listmodel.addElement(element);
//fireContentsChanged(this, 0, getSize());
private void fireContentsChanged(student aThis, int i, Dimension size) {
// throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
My listmodel and collect contains the following elements
Aruna
Anub
Sivekumae
pls help me out
Shanthy

you are comparing strings with
if (element.toString().indexOf(search, 0) == 0) {what you can do is do something like
if (element.toString ().toLowerCase ().contains (search.toLowerCase ())) {All the converting toLowerCase is just so the caps are ignored. If you really want starting strings only, you use startswith instead:
if (element.toString ().toLowerCase ().startsWith(search.toLowerCase ())) {hope this helps!

AD accounts find users with all capital letters

Hello ,
I am a noob , am searching online but can't find exactly what i need.
So am posting here in hope some one will help me. :)
I what to make a short powershell script that finds all users with capital letters from the second letter on.
Example
first name = Bob last name =Red corect
first name = BOB last name =RED wrong
i want to extract all the wrong names with capital letters in text file
So my question is that possible and how can i do it in server 2008 r2.
Thanks in Advance for any answers

This is obviously not an Exchange question, but a PowerShell question. You should probably post it in the scripting forums for completeness.
That being said, you can try using -cmatch against a regex. I used -cmatch '[A-Za-z]+[A-Z]+' to test a name with later capital letters, and it appeared to work.
[PS] C:\Scripts> "Willard" -cmatch '[A-Za-z]+[A-Z]+'
False
[PS] C:\Scripts> "WILLARD" -cmatch '[A-Za-z]+[A-Z]+'
True
[PS] C:\Scripts> "WillARD" -cmatch '[A-Za-z]+[A-Z]+'
True
[PS] C:\Scripts> "WillarD" -cmatch '[A-Za-z]+[A-Z]+'
True
[PS] C:\Scripts> "WiLlArD" -cmatch '[A-Za-z]+[A-Z]+'
True
So for your test, and using the Exchange commands (you can change them to the Windows 2008 AD commands), you'd run:
Get-User | ? { $_.DisplayName -cmatch '[A-Za-z]+[A-Z]+' }

Identifying capital letters in strings

I need to read a string (in this case a sentence) and identify any 'words' in the sentence (excluding the first word of the sentence) that begin with capital letters OR are entirely made up of capital letters. I guess I use string tokenizer to braek the string into individual words, but how do I then 'spot' capital letters (either beginnig words or all through the word)?

Here's the script that completes the task you describe (that is, to the best of my knowledge based upon your description). Enjoy!
Regards,
Brad Galiette
(Note - create a CapsLetters object and call testString; for instance:
CapsLetters myCaps = new CapsLetters();
boolean result = myCaps.testString("Hello There");
class CapsLetters{
     String caps[] = {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z"};
     String notCaps[] = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"};
     public boolean testString(String sentence){
          StringTokenizer sentenceWords = new StringTokenizer(sentence, " ");
          String tempStr;
          if (sentenceWords.hasMoreElements()){tempStr = sentenceWords.nextToken();}

                    System.out.println(isCaps(tempStr.charAt(i)));

Getting rid of CAPITAL letters in names

When importing a batch of contacts, the last name entered in capital letters. Would anybody know of a script to adjust that to normal letters as there are a couple of hundreds of them.
thanks
Filip

What I have tried but does'nt seem to work: I exported those cards into word. Toggled the capital letters. exported it into a csv file and imported it back into address book. Address book recognized the duplicate files and merged them but....kept the one with capital letters....aaaaaahhhhh!

Text in capital letters only

Hi all
When I try to add text to a picture in my photoshop elements, then it only writes with capital letters.
I guess I might have pushed some botton somewhere, but I can't find it.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
And before you think my caps is locked.. then no ;-)
greetings from Sweden

As I have never used PSE, I am not sure if it has something like the Character Palette (probably similar, as the Options Bar above, seems similar), but in PS, there is a setting for All Caps in the Character Palette. That is where one could easily change things to Initial Caps, if that is what is desired.
What happens is that one Opens an image, where All Caps was used, and then does some editing of Text. A good, and common, example of this is with many DVD Menus. The All Caps is a "sticky," and if used for that first Image, will "hang around," when the next Image is Opened. Often, the user is totally unaware that this change has been made - until they start typing and they are not getting what they desire. A simple reset takes care of it.
Here's a look at PS CS2's Character Palette, w/ the All Caps icon active.
I'm surprised that the PSE forum sent you here, as Barb_O and the rest are usually very quick to help with PSE issues.
Good luck, and sorry that I cannot point you directly to a Character Palette in PSE, but I think that you have your answer above.

results will give me
2. tomy
3. toM
but i want as results all names wit 'to' no matter if it has capital letters or not
1. Tomcat
2. tomy
3. toM
5. tOmi
How should i write this query ?
please help

Hi,
Salski wrote:
but I also have to remember to convert entered string in inputtext to uppercase as well
someString.toUpperCase()You can also do that on the back-end, if that's better for you:
select name

where UPPER (name) like '%' || UPPER (someString) || '%'

Script to replace small caps that are typed as capital letters with non-capital letters (A = a, B = b, etc...)

I'm looking for a way to replace small caps that are typed as capitals by their normal equivalent.
I've got a text that contains a lot of names which should all be set in small caps.
In fact they are, but because capital letters are used for first letters they don't scale.
Short: I would like to be able to look for A, B, C... (in small caps) and replace them with (a, b, c...) in small caps in one go.
(compare two arrays?? -> is this possible in indesign scripting)

Hi,
Actually, it works only with OpenType fonts and - in this case - can be managed by UI find...change feature.
With other type of font we need a real change of contents (another keyboard hit).
It could be done with this code (activeDocument is a target):
-- works for Open Type as well --
// For Latin Basic (ASCII from 65 to 90)
// changes a "cap" letter to a "small" letter
// if Capitalization.SMALL_CAPS is applied to
app.findGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\\u";
app.findGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.SMALL_CAPS;
var
mSTART = 65, // ASCII number for "A"
Mstart = 97, // ASCII number for "a"
mDiff = 0,
mTarget = app.activeDocument,
mFound = mTarget.findGrep(),
len = mFound.length, cString;
while (len-->0) {
cString = mFound[len].contents;
mDiff = cString.charCodeAt(0) - mSTART;
if (mDiff > -1 && mDiff < 26)
mFound[len].contents = String.fromCharCode( Mstart + mDiff );
app.findGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;

Iphoto shows two photo libraries with the same name, one in small letters the other in all capital letters. they both open the same library and the only one in my computer. How do delete the capital letrs one as the one in the pictures folder is in

In my iPhoto application when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
They both open the same library which is in the Pictures folder. This is the only library I can see and the name is not in capital letters?
How do I get rid of the one in capital letters

What is your iPhoto version?
when I select switch libraries It shows 2 libraries with the same name, but one has the name is in Capital letters.
In the Library Chooser Panel look for the pathes to the two duplicate libraries. You will see the location of the libraries in the path bar at the bottom of the window when you select one of the libraries. Does it show both libraries in the same folder?

Spell Checking Text with All Capital Letters

Is it possible to change a spell check option in Adobe, like you can in MS Word, to include words in all capital letters? we have thousnads of documents that require all text to be all capitals and spend an appreciable amount of time spell checking by copying to MS Word to discover errors. No one I've talked to seems to have an answer.

As I understand it the spell check in Acrobat is for text in annotations only.
It does not check PDF page content..
Such content needs to be spell/grammer checked before converting to PDF.
Be well...

For web and computing experts I would like to remind them that all the peoples nowadays have the same needs (or hobbies if you wish) regarding the electronic devices, web, compouters, softwares and that sort of thing.
If I WERE not to have technical support because of my prefiously used capital letters in me text messages, I have to confess that next time I will be more carefull about the devices producers........ I live and always learn (SOCRATES, girasko, aei didaskomenos)
Two questions
1. I noticed on the you tube videos about the new ipad that the main icons are more than mine (i.e. the icon of facebook and a number or others are missing)
2. I would like to ask you to do me a favour, thanks for your patiene. Still I have not understood how (in which way, the pictures, transfered from my system or new taken by the ipad camera are uploaded directly to the FaceBook. I suppose that I will not have the same difficulties regarding the videos to both Facebook AND YoutTube. Thanks a lot for your patience with me, from now on I will be more carefull about posting messages to you referring to technical support

Some of the apps shown in adverts / videos have been downloaded from the App Store, they don't come pre-installed e.g. the Facebook app is a free download the app store : 'official' Facebook app.
To upload photos to Facebook you can use the above app - you can't, for example, use Safari on the iPad to upload content to sites.
Not sure whether any apps allow you to upload videos to YouTube (I don't use the site).

Why capital letters change in lower after copying them from a PDF document, or otherwise, why some uppercase are in fact lowercase when I look in the Text Property in any PDF Reader.

your home page to get into your Web site should be index.html (for Mac) or index.htm (on PC)
You can name it something other than index, but will be harder to find. when you create the subjects and link to them, they can can be named anything with the html extension Or if your using PHP end in .php. There is a Microsoft type asp or aspx but your hosting service has to set up using windows server system.
My hosting service use a Linux server normally but can convert Windows for a Fee. UNIX Linux has no concept of asp or aspx.

How do i get Rosetta stone to recognize capital letters in Rosetta stone

Yeah, so how does this happen? Capitals worked with a PC, but not w/mac. any help?

I second shldr2thewheel.
I use Rosetta Stone and have no issues getting capital letteres recognized.
But in the "writing" lessons the "soft keyboard" has a "shift" key for making the capital letters available.
