Need help with upper case

Question

I'm stuck on my coding when I have to write a function to
detect upper cases has been used in a sentence
For example if my array element has this:
2345
SAINT PAUL
STREET
APT 5
PHILADELPHIA
I need to be able to write a code to let me know that the 2nd
OR 3rd OR 5th element is written in upper case letter
Or if I set the variable not as array, 2345 SAINT PAUL STREET
APT 5 PHILADELPHIA
I need to be able to detect that at least one of the section
on that street name is written with upper case
Can anyone help please?

Answer 1

compare() cf function performs a case-sensitive comparison of
2 strings
and returns 0 is the strings are the same. so you can compare
an
uppercase version of the string to the original string, and
if the
comparison returns 0 then your string is in uppercase:
<cfif compare(ucase(myarray[2]), myarray[2]) is 0>
<!--- the string in myarray[2] IS in uppercase --->
<cfelse>
<!--- it is NOT in uppercase --->
</cfif>
the above code compares the value of the second array element
converted
to uppercase to the original value of the second array
element. if the
result is 0, i.e. the uppercase and original strings are the
same, then
you know the original string is in uppercase.
if you are dealing with a single string (which is equivalent
to a
space-delimited list), then use appropriate list function to
get
required list element, i.e. listfirst(), listlast(),
listgetat()...
<cfif compare(ucase(listlast(mylist, " ")),
listlast(mylist, " ")) is 0>
<!--- the last element in the list IS in uppercase --->
<cfelse>
<!--- it is NOT in uppercase --->
</cfif>
