This does not fail, if the last character is a TAB: ind = [1, findstr(S, ' ') + 1]; Do you mean: ind = [1, find(isspace(S)) + 1] ?! confused, Jan

This does not fail, if the last character is a TAB: yes, but if there's any TAB between other chars... s=lower(sprintf('BLUE\tRED\tGREEN\t')); ix=[1,strfind(s,' ')+1]; s(ix)=upper(s(ix)) % s = Blue red green us

If I have my regular expression skills in order, this should look for any contiguous block of non-whitespace and make the first character upper case and any subsequent characters lower case: str = 'rED GrEEn BluE'; regexprep(str,'(\S)(\S*)','${upper($1)}${lower($2)}') -- Doug Schwarz dmschwarz&ieee,org Make obvious changes to get real email address. |
