Capitalize the first letter?

[Newsgroup_User]

Is there a way in CF to capitalize the first letter of a word?

One way is using string functions. Left() to grab the first letter and UCase() to capitalize it. You can use Right() and Len() to grab the rest of the word.

You can see an example of something similar at cflib.org. But read the usage on how it operates if you pass multiple words.

You can use RegEx which is much easier and cleaner.

Both methods work. While I would probably choose regex myself, I know not everyone feels comfortable with them. They're certainly not as intuitive as string functions. Use whichever you feel most comfortable with. Though regex are very powerful and well worth learning.

Perfect. Thank you!

Not in CF, but if all you want is to capitalize the first letter in an html output, you could try the CSS function below :

.title:fisrt-letter {text-transform: capitalize}

and apply the ".title" style to you div/span.
