capitalization

For a long time I've known that I can use ~ in Vim to toggle the case of a character. But is there a way to map a key to capitalize a word and go back to the previous position? For example: I like to drink Coca co[l] If my cursor is at "l" and I realize I need to make the "c" capitalize as well, currently, I need to do: <C-c> b ~ ll i Is there a way to map a single key to make the first letter of the word under cursor to be capitalized and keep the cursor at original position? :nmap <whatever> m`b~`` Personally, this is exactly the kind of thing I prefer not to make a macro for. There's no

I want to build a list containing every possible permutation of capitalization of a word. so it would be List<string> permutate(string word) { List<string> ret = new List<string>(); MAGIC HAPPENS HERE return ret; } So say I put in "happy" I should get an array back of {happy, Happy, hAppy, HAppy, haPpy, HaPpy ... haPPY, HaPPY, hAPPY, HAPPY} I know of plenty of functions that will capitalize the first letter but how do I do any arbitrary letter in the word? You can modify individual characters if you convert your string to an array of char. Something like this should do the trick... public

Is anyone aware of some code/rules on how to capitalize the names of people correctly? John Smith Johan van Rensburg Derrick von Gogh Ruby de La Fuente Peter Maclaurin Garry McDonald (these may not be correct, just some sample names and how the capitalization could be/work) This seems like a losing battle... If anyone has some code or rules on when and how to capitalize names, let me know :) Cheers, Albert The only sensible way to handle it, in my opinion, is to let the users tell you how their name should be capitalized. Any automatic scheme is going to annoy someone. Just tell them you're

I've been reading user comments for the strtoupper() PHP function and there doesn't seem to a consensus on how to do the conversion for non-Enlgish strings. I mean people offer localized solutions and stuff, but shouldn't there be a uniform way to convert a string to all upper (or all lower) case letters? So my question is, say, if I have a UTF-8 encoded string (in some unknown locale) how do I convert it to all upper/lower letters in PHP? You want to use mb_strtoupper . $str = "Τάχιστη αλώπηξ βαφής ψημένη γη, δρασκελίζει υπέρ νωθρού κυνός"; $str = mb_strtoupper($str, "UTF-8"); echo $str; //

I need to take a string, and capitalize words in it. Certain words ("in", "at", etc.), are not capitalized and are changed to lower case if encountered. The first word should always be capitalized. Last names like "McFly" are not in the current scope so the same rule will apply to them - only first letter capitalized. For example: "of mice and men By CNN" should be changed to "Of Mice and Men by CNN". ( Therefore ToTitleString won't work here ) I'm wondering what would be the best way to do that. What I thought of is to split the string by spaces, and go over each word, changing it if
