How do I loop through submitted form field and make Proper Case?

[jruiseco]

I need to loop through the contents of a submitted form field and check/change to proper case. The field is an address field.

Example:
User submits this... 1234 main street
I want it to become this... 1234 Main Street

All I have so far is this:

<UCase(Left(Trim(address1),1)) & LCase(Mid(Trim(address1),2,999))>

...which addresses the first word in the sequnce. I'm having trouble figuring how to loop this and get to the 2..3..4... word. Also, the loop needs to ignore numbers.

BTW, I'm using CF 4.5 so a UDF is not an option for me.

Thanks....

<cfset listName=&quot;one two three four five six seven...&quot;>


<cfloop index=&quot;upperCase&quot; list=&quot;#listName#&quot; delimiters=&quot; &quot;>
<cfset listName=Replace(listName, upperCase, Replace(upperCase, Left(upperCase,1), Ucase(Left(upperCase,1))))>
</cfloop> Sylvano

That's great.

But how would alter your script to check for lower case letters after the first letter?

This:
a froG iS in tHe tREe

Becomes this:
A Frog Is In The Tree

<cfset listName=Replace(listName, upperCase, Ucase(Left(upperCase,1))&RemoveChars(LCase(upperCase), 1, 1))>


will return this: A Frog Is In The Tree

is this what u r looking for? Sylvano
