ok i can understand the reply to my earlier question on how to make only the first char of a string into a capital and leave the rest small
the next thing confusing me is if i have a sentence of words with one space between each word, how would i get the first letter of each word to capitalize while leaving the other letters small?
thanks again newbie
Well, i didnt read your earlier post but i assume someone pointed out the strupr() function. So just run through your string on element at a time and check to see if the current element is a space ( strcmp(string[i], " "); ). If it is, then make the next element of the string uppercase. Stop when you get the to the Null Terminating character.
.
char *ptr;
ptr = your_sentence;
for(int i=0; i<strlen(your_sentence); i++)
if(ptr = ' ' && i+1 != strlen(your_sentence) && ptr > 'a' && ptr < 'z') {
*ptr += ('A'-'a');
ptr++;
}
Oddly enough, I think this will work...I have to brush up on pointers though. :(
> if(ptr = ' ' && i+1 != strlen(your_sentence) && ptr > 'a' && ptr < 'z') {
sorry, just realized that the second clause there should be:
... && i+1 < strlen(your_sentence) && ...
> *ptr += ('A'-'a');
also, this should be:
*(ptr+1) += ('A' - 'a');
In addition, a double space or tab, or any other non letter following a space will cause an infinite loop. So move the ptr++ outside the if statement, enclose in brackets inside the for statement. Well, there are probably more errors, this was supposed be a quick helpful bit of advice. Anyways.... just a suggestion.
