Personally, I would put the values into proper case before putting them into
the database. That means you only have to process the text once... Not once
for each time you read it from the database.

Try using CapFirst() from cflib.org, works great, though you will still have
to write a regex for things like McMillan.

Subject: Proper Case
Just wondering
If you want to change the case of all the elements in the form
structure, you could loop of them like so:
cfloop list=#structKeyList(form)# index=field
cfset form[field] = ucase(form[field])/
/cfloop
Or, you could loop over a subset of field names just to modify the
ones you want to
Joe I like your idea Ben mentioned Converting to Proper before Updating the
DB
SO:
cfloop list=#structKeyList(form)# index=field
cfset form[field] = CapFirst(Lcase(form[field]))/
/cfloop
This works great. Using Lower case becuase CapFirst converts to upper but
doesnt check for case in
www.cflib.orgthat's where I've found it in the past

Here's one I use for some internal things.Nothing fancy, and never for any
world-visible formatting, so I don't know how perfect it will work,
particularly with edge cases.However, it should do most of the job for
you.

cfset var result = /
cfset s =
have you looked at www.cflib.org?hard to believe there's nothing there
that would fit your needs (?)

Does anyone have a handy CF Proper Case UDF they would like to share?I was
going to write one but thought I would check the web (without success) and a
few discussion forums first.
CFLib has one for title case (actually it title cases a list of elements), maybe you could start with that as a

I don't suppose you're using an Oracle DB, are you? That's as simple as
"SELECT INITCAP(foo) FROM bar"...
Other than that, I

Search the Allaire Developers Exchange for the cf_capitalize custom tag. It
has an attribute you can set to Titlecase and works like a
