Data Page Report: property formatting
We have several Data Types that are delegated to the user and there are some fields, like Desription or Type, that contain several words and user wants each word to be started with the upper case. Is there a way to format such properties in this way? Any functions? We use Pega 7.2.1

Hi guys,
Thank you everyone for help. Below is the code I made to work, maybe it will help somebody else:
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
if (InputString == null)
return "";
String[] convertedString = InputString.toLowerCase().split(" ");
for (String name : convertedString)
{
builder.append(name.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + name.substring(1));
builder.append(" ");
}
InputString = builder.toString().trim();
return InputString;

Hello Larisa,
I don't think so we have any OOTB function to achieve your requirement .
May be you can write your own function ,you can write the code as follows
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
String test ="new test";
String[] convertedString = test.split(" ");
for (String string : convertedString) {
builder.append(string.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + string.substring(1));
builder.append(" ");
}
test =builder.toString().trim();
System.out.println(test);
Hope it helps .
Thanks,

HI,
Please check the following two OOTB functions:
"ConvertToUpperCase" under Utilities class.
"toUpperCase" under String class.

Hi ,
You can use the function to achieve your requirement :
//sample code
function test(str)
{
return str.replace(/\w\S*/g, function(txt){return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();});
}
console.log(test('testing'));
Hope this helps.

Hi Larisa,
You can look into this article for the easy OOTB apache commons lang library using WordUtils.capitalize(str) method to achieve your requirement.

Mahesh
