Split and join string

Hi all.

I have a form with a textbox for the full name and I whant to uppercase the fist letter in the first and last name.

I have a function for that and all works well, the problem comes when there is a hypen "-" in the name. I have the split part working but on the join side I cant get it to work.

function ucFirstAllWords( str )

{

          var pieces = str.split(" "); //use this for space and "-" split (/[ \/-]/);

    for ( var i = 0; i < pieces.length; i++ )

    {

        var j = pieces[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase();

        pieces[i] = j + pieces[i].substr(1);

    }

    return pieces.join(" ");

}

If I use this code and slpit on both space and hypen all get join with space, I have tyed to make a function in function to capture the first hyphen but that didn't work probably doing it wrong

Does anyone have any idea how to solve it?

I'm using LC 8.0

Thanks.

Hi Vjay.

I want "john doe" to be "John Doe" and "ann-lee rose bush" to be "Ann-Lee Rose Bush"

Do I make any sense?

The scrip woks fine but not with a name that contains a hypen.

If I use the split to include the hypen then "ann-lee" becomes "Ann Lee" and thats not right.

Put this code on the exit event of the text field:

this.rawValue = this.rawValue.replace(/\b([a-z])/g, function (_, initial) {return initial.toUpperCase();});

Very useful oneliner
