I've got:
$string =~ s/(\w+)/\u\L$1/g;
Which capitalizes each word in the string. The problem is if I have a string with an apostrophe the first letter after it gets capitalized as well.
So Bob's becomes Bob'S.
Thanks for any quick fixes! (4 Replies)

Tcl_Backslash(3TCL) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_Backslash(3TCL)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_Backslash - parse a backslash sequence
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
char
Tcl_Backslash(src, countPtr)
ARGUMENTS
char *src (in) Pointer to a string starting with a backslash.
int *countPtr (out) If countPtr isn't NULL, *countPtr gets filled in with number of characters in the backslash sequence, includ-
ing the backslash character.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The use of Tcl_Backslash is deprecated in favor of Tcl_UtfBackslash. |
This is a utility procedure provided for backwards compatibility with non-internationalized Tcl extensions. It parses a backslash sequence |
and returns the low byte of the Unicode character corresponding to the sequence. Tcl_Backslash modifies *countPtr to contain the number of
characters in the backslash sequence.
See the Tcl manual entry for information on the valid backslash sequences. All of the sequences described in the Tcl manual entry are sup-
ported by Tcl_Backslash.
