Tip of the Day: Using Enhanced ICAP2 Function
Product.: R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64)
Build...: 9.5.3.21008 or higher www.rupdates.com
Keywords: Functions
Section.: String Manipulation Functions
The ICAP2 Function in R:BASE converts the text string with an initial
capital letter on each word. This is also known as Word Case.
In the following example, the value of vICap2 is John Smith.
SET VAR vICap2 TEXT = (ICAP2('john smith'))
Back in March 25, 2013, with the release of Update 2, ICAP2 function
was enhanced to support hyphen as leading character too (along with
Blank, Left Parenthesis, and Colon).
In the following example, the value of vHyfnTxt2 is Daniel Day-Lewis.
SET VAR vHyfnTxt2 TEXT = (ICAP2('daniel day-lewis'))
Did you know that the current version and update of R:BASE eXtreme
9.5 Update 3, includes the support for apostrophe as well?
In the following example, the value of vName2 is Brian O'Rielly.
SET VAR vName1 TEXT = ('BRIAN O''RIELLY')
SET VAR vName2 TEXT = (ICAP2(.vName1))
This new enhancement will help those who wish to see consistent
results when using ICAP2 function to display Word Case in so many
cases, such as ListViews, Mail Merge Letters, Mailing/Name Labels,
Inscription applications, and more ...
Stay productive, my friends!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
