Use the UDF: capFirstTitle()
http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=116
For your purpose, CF RegExp won't do it as well as what Ed Hodder
implemented with his UDF.
But, FYI, REFind() and REFindNoCase() can return subexpressions.
Example:
Variables.sttREFind = REFind("[[:graph:]]+", Variables.strName, 1,
true);
If (Variables.sttREFind.pos[1] GT 0) {
Variables.strFirstWord = Mid(Variables.strName,
Variables.sttREFind.pos[1], Variables.sttREFind.len[1]);
} else { // nothing found
Variables.strFirstWord = "";
}
See how messy this can get? The UDF has a much more elegant solution, in
my opinion. :)
Of course, RegExp has its uses. In your case, it isn't the most optimal
solution.

All refind does is find the starting position of a string.
IE:
<CFSET test = REFind("^[A-Z][a-z]+", "hello world")>
<CFOUTPUT>
#test#
</CFOUTPUT>
returns "0"
I need it to change "hello world" to Hello World"
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and [Unix]
BSD. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
