Flex: Capitalize words in string?

Question

I am trying to do the equivalent of PHP's ucwords() in Flex. I dont want the whole string in uppercase just the first letter of each word. Does anyone know a way?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Try

str.replace(/\b./g,function(m){return String(m).toUpperCase()});

explanation:

the regex /\b./g matches a word boundary followed by any character. All matches will be passed to the anonymous function defined in second parameter of replace method. The function returns the match capitalized.

Answer 2

This is the same as Rafael's answer but with no warnings :)

str.replace(/\b./g,function(...m):String{return m[0].toUpperCase()});
