“BOCA RATON”.replace “Boca Raton” #
Probably
“BOCA RATON”.split(/\b/).map{|s| s.capitalize }.join
It is quick to write, at least…
HTH
“BOCA RATON”.gsub(/\w+/){|w| w.capitalize}
is even shorter
cheers

Hi,
I’m new to Ruby but can’t you just use :
“BOCA RATON”.capitalize
?
Cheers,
Pete

Do we ignore the message asking us to ignore you?
Anyway, you were on the right track, but the string needs to be chunked
on white space, then regrouped.
“BOCA RATON”.split( /\s/ ).map{ |w| w.capitalize }.join( ’ ’ )
If one tends to do this a lot, it can be added as an instance method to
String:
class String
def titlize
self.split( /\s/).map{ |w| w.capitalize }.join( ’ ’ )
end
end
“BOCA RATON”.titlize

Nope! (That gives => “Boca raton”).
And, even as a Ruby newbie, I determined in seconds.
The real point of my post is to say that, while I’m learning Ruby, I
have IRB
open in a konsole right next to kmail–it’s very nice to quickly plug a
piece
of code in there and do some testing (confirm it works, take bits off
the end
to see intermediate results, etc.).

Randy K.
