FM to translate first letter of every word to upper case.

Hi all,
I have a requirement to change the first letter of every word in sentence to Upper case.For example if the sentence is 'fifty eight thousand' it has to be changed to 'Fifty Eight Thousand'.Is there any FM to acheive this? Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Kiran.

it is useful for u :
FM:ISP_CONVERT_FIRSTCHARS_TOUPPER
OR u can user below code:
translate output_string to lower case.
pos_max = strlen( output_string ) - 1.
pos = 0.
assign output_string+pos(1) to <poi>.
assign input_string+pos(1) to <hpoi>.
<poi> = <hpoi>.
assign input_string+pos(*) to <rest>.
while <rest> ca separators.
 pos = pos + sy-fdpos + 1.
 if pos > pos_max. exit. endif.
 assign output_string+pos(1) to <poi>.
 assign input_string+pos(1) to <hpoi>.
 <poi> = <hpoi>.
 assign input_string+pos(*) to <rest>.
endwhile.

How to Capitalize the First Letter in Every Word in Mysql

Hi,
I have been trying to tidy up a massive database where visitors have been sloppy when entering text. The main thing I want to do is to Capitalize The First Letter In Every Word In Mysql.
I have found the code below in PHP but it keeps finding an error on the WHILE line:
<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/maison_connection.php'); ?>
<?php
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT column, id FROM table");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$column2 = ucwords($row["column"]);
$query2 = "UPDATE table SET column = '$column2′ WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query2);
?>
My table is called MailingList and the Column is called Name, so I have altered the script to this: but it still shows the same WHILE error:
<?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ?>
<?php require_once('Connections/maison_connection.php'); ?>
<?php
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT Name, id FROM MailingList");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row["id"];
$Name2 = ucwords($row["Name"]);
$query2 = "UPDATE MailingList SET Name = '$Name2′ WHERE id = '$id'";
mysql_query($query2);
?>
Any ideas??

I got it to work this way in SQL: I am SURE there is an abbreviated way to do it, but at least it works
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," a"," A");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," b"," B");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," c"," C");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," d"," D");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," e"," E");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," f"," F");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," g"," G");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," h"," H");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," i"," I");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," j"," J");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," k"," K");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," l"," L");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," m"," M");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," n"," N");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," o"," O");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," p"," P");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," q"," Q");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," r"," R");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," s"," S");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," t"," T");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," u"," U");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," v"," V");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," w"," W");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," x"," X");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," y"," Y");
UPDATE MailingList SET Name = replace(Name," z"," Z");

Is there a way to auto capitalize the first letter of every word?

I Like To Type In This Way. I Was Wondering If There Is A Setting That Will Automatically Capitalize The First Letter Of Each Word So That I Don't Have To Keep Hitting Shift Before Each First Letter.
Thank You

Nice to see so many 'helpful' responses.
This casing is useful for example, on an Address field. It would be good if the OS had this option for developers.
I'm pretty sure it does as I've certainly had apps that, in certain fields, do use title case.

Is their a way to turn on auto-capitalization of the first letter of every word??

i want da first letter to be in caps without me pressing caps lock or using shift
i.e Like This But Without Using Those Two Keys

There have been some threads here about large-scale deployment, but I don't know whether they would help after Firefox has been installed.
Random thought:
I suspect (but haven't checked) that changing the "Clear Recent History" options would add corresponding entries to prefs.js in the user's profile folder. (These usually are added during Firefox shut-down.) That's just a plain text file and you could append to it by a variety of means.
It might be possible to use a VBScript during logon to update that file before the user starts Firefox. The script would have to detect the random folder name(s) in order to make the update.

Can iTunes capitalize the first letter of every word?

Tr# Title

I have it all organized in folders so i dont need anything else. But i just want to capitalize everything can itunes do this? thanks.

Try searching VersionTracker for "tag editor" and perhaps you'll come up with something you can use.
Oh, and I really don't mean this as a flame, but you waited less than twelve hours, most of those being the wee hours of the morning in the US. So you weren't likely to get a response during those times. Just to set expectations for future posts. Cheers.

Is there a command to capitalize the first letter of each word?

That is to say, can you capitalize the first letter of each word in a document like say, word? Or using the net?
Thanks guys.
(hope that makes sense.)

Select the text, then Format->Change Case->Title Case (Word 2004).

Apple wireless keyboard misses first letter in some words

When I am typing, particularly in Word 2011, with my Apple Wireless Keyboard, it frequently does not type the first letter of a word. I have searched and can find no resolution to this problem. I have messed with Accessibility but that is all turned off. The only other bluetooth device is my mouse.

Hi,
Thanks for this. It isn't the computer though, as it will happen very quickly. For example I can type in a web address, then look up to read the web page for 20 seconds or so, then if I type again it will miss the first key stroke.
I am starting to get used to typing the first letter twice!
I can see that it is a widely reported issue with Apple Macs, but I can't find a fix for Windows. I am keen not to have to buy a new keyboard!

Replacing first Character of every word in a string with an Uppercase

Hi,
Is it possible to replace all first character of every word in a string with UpperCase?
$="autocad lite"
Should look "Autocad Lite" .
Thanks,
François

Hi FRacine,
Please refer to the script below:
$givenname="autocad lite"
$givenname
$givenname = $givenname.substring(0,1).toupper()+$givenname.substring(1)
$givenname
Edit: to change first character in every word, please refer to this script, this may not be the best way, but it can work:
$givenname="autocad lite"
$givenname
$words=$givenname.split(" ")
$givenname=""
foreach ($word in $words){
$givenname+=$word.substring(0,1).toupper()+$word.substring(1)+" "}
$givenname=$givenname.trim()
$givenname
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

Uppercase first letter of every new sentence

Hi Guys,
I am working on a design for a magazine for which, at the moment, I need to type a lot of the texts in InDesign instead of copy-pasting them from word or...
This made me a little annoyed since I don't get to uppercase each first letter of each sentence automatically like Word etc. do?
So: how can I automatically uppercase the first letter of each new sentence?
Many thanks,
Bob

Unbelievable that I only found this now and that it is that simple!
Thanks!!

I don't want the first letter of every line to be capitalized

When I try to put in user id's and passwords on web sites, I don't always want the first letter to be capitalized. How do you make the Ipad stop doing this?

Settings -> General -> Keyboard
Turn off Auto-Capitalization.

Getting the autocomplete setting to work by typing the first letter of a word

Before I installed Firefox 5.0, I had made it so that whenever I visited a website that remembered an account/password of mine, this happened:
1.- It asked for my master password.
2.- After entering it, I would click on the form field and then type in the FIRST LETTER of the account.
3.- When entering that exact first letter, Firefox would suggest in a drop-down menu the account or accounts that started with that letter on that particular site, e.g.: say I have a Twitter account that is "koko999". If I went to twitter.com and entered the letter "k" in the form field (after entering the master password), Firefox would suggest the account "koko999" in the drop-down menu.
4.- After selecting the account that I desired from the drop-down menu, Firefox would automatically autocomplete the password.
5.- Then, if I closed Firefox, all my active accounts would close/sign out. So, if afterwards I opened Firefox, I would have to repeat from Step 1 if I wanted to use an account, e.g.: if I closed FF while having my Twitter account logged in, and then opened FF again, I would have to start from Step 1.
Now, I had this setting for a bunch of different websites. After installing Firefox 5.0, this configuration vanished or something. Now, when entering the master password, Firefox autocompletes EVERYTHING. Say, using the example from before, that I go to twitter.com. Firefox asks for the master password, I enter it and then the ID/password for the twitter account automatically fills in without me entering any letter in the form field. And I do not want Firefox to do that!
So, I'm asking for help. I know that what I what to do is not impossible, I just can't find the way to do it! I kinda need the exact steps. Thanks a lot!

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_only_filled_after_entering_user_name
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms (false)
If you are in Private Browsing then Firefox wont fill the names and passwords automatically.
You can set the pref browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 2 (never) or 1 (non-HTTPS, default in Firefox 3 versions) on the about:config page to disable saving cookies via session restore.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.privacy_level
You can also use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Active Logins" when you close Firefox.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.
