Capital and small letters

[beag]

 Hello,

Is it possible to convert string in report so as to get instead of "john smith" - just "John Smith" (the first letter in each word is capital letter and the rest are small letters)?

 

Thank you in advance for any help.

 I'm pretty sure you could use the pattern object and a regular expression string.replace() ... If you look up regular expression for groovy or java to do this you should find plenty of options.

Thank you for your tips, but as I'm not familiar with java and groovy, I'd be greatful if seomebody gives me some examples how to solve my problem.

 

Thanks

 you could use the apache commons-lang library  (http://commons.apache.org/lang/). There is method WordUtils.capitalize(..) which does what you want.

 

 

Code:

<textFieldExpression class="java.lang.String"> org.apache.commons.lang.WordUtils.capitalize($F{field})</textFieldExpression>
