Is there a function built into Java that capitalizes the first character of each word in a String, and does not affect the others?
Examples:
jon skeet -> Jon Skeet
miles o'Brien -> Miles O'Brien (B remains capital, this rules out Title Case)
old mcdonald -> Old Mcdonald*
*(Old McDonald would be find too, but I don't expect it to be THAT smart.)
A quick look at the Java String Documentation reveals only toUpperCase() and toLowerCase(), which of course do not provide the desired behavior. Naturally, Google results are dominated by those two functions. It seems like a wheel that must have been invented already, so it couldn't hurt to ask so I can use it in the future.
WordUtils.capitalize(str) (from apache commons-text)
(Note: if you need "fOO BAr" to become "Foo Bar", then use capitalizeFully(..) instead)
If you're only worried about the first letter of the first word being capitalized:
private String capitalize(final String line) {
return Character.toUpperCase(line.charAt(0)) + line.substring(1);
}
The following method converts all the letters into upper/lower case, depending on their position near a space or other special chars.
public static String capitalizeString(String string) {
char[] chars = string.toLowerCase().toCharArray();
boolean found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
if (!found && Character.isLetter(chars[i])) {
chars[i] = Character.toUpperCase(chars[i]);
found = true;
} else if (Character.isWhitespace(chars[i]) || chars[i]=='.' || chars[i]=='\'') { // You can add other chars here
found = false;
}
}
return String.valueOf(chars);
}
Try this very simple way
example givenString="ram is good boy"
public static String toTitleCase(String givenString) {
String[] arr = givenString.split(" ");
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
sb.append(Character.toUpperCase(arr[i].charAt(0)))
.append(arr[i].substring(1)).append(" ");
}
return sb.toString().trim();
}
Output will be: Ram Is Good Boy
I made a solution in Java 8 that is IMHO more readable.
public String firstLetterCapitalWithSingleSpace(final String words) {
return Stream.of(words.trim().split("\\s"))
.filter(word -> word.length() > 0)
.map(word -> word.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + word.substring(1))
.collect(Collectors.joining(" "));
}
The Gist for this solution can be found here: https://gist.github.com/Hylke1982/166a792313c5e2df9d31
String toBeCapped = "i want this sentence capitalized";
String[] tokens = toBeCapped.split("\\s");
toBeCapped = "";
for(int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++){
char capLetter = Character.toUpperCase(tokens[i].charAt(0));
toBeCapped += " " + capLetter + tokens[i].substring(1);
}
toBeCapped = toBeCapped.trim();
I've written a small Class to capitalize all the words in a String.
Optional multiple delimiters, each one with its behavior (capitalize before, after, or both, to handle cases like O'Brian);
Optional Locale;
Don't breaks with Surrogate Pairs.

Using org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils makes it very simple.
capitalizeStr = StringUtils.capitalize(str);
From Java 9+
you can use String::replaceAll like this :
public static void upperCaseAllFirstCharacter(String text) {
String regex = "\\b(.)(.*?)\\b";
String result = Pattern.compile(regex).matcher(text).replaceAll(
matche -> matche.group(1).toUpperCase() + matche.group(2)
);
System.out.println(result);
}
Example :
upperCaseAllFirstCharacter("hello this is Just a test");
Outputs
Hello This Is Just A Test
With this simple code:
String example="hello";
example=example.substring(0,1).toUpperCase()+example.substring(1, example.length());
System.out.println(example);
Result: Hello
I'm using the following function. I think it is faster in performance.
public static String capitalize(String text){
String c = (text != null)? text.trim() : "";
String[] words = c.split(" ");
String result = "";
for(String w : words){
result += (w.length() > 1? w.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase(Locale.US) + w.substring(1, w.length()).toLowerCase(Locale.US) : w) + " ";
}
return result.trim();
}
Use the Split method to split your string into words, then use the built in string functions to capitalize each word, then append together.
Pseudo-code (ish)
string = "the sentence you want to apply caps to";
words = string.split(" ")
string = ""
for(String w: words)
//This line is an easy way to capitalize a word
word = word.toUpperCase().replace(word.substring(1), word.substring(1).toLowerCase())
string += word
In the end string looks something like
"The Sentence You Want To Apply Caps To"
This might be useful if you need to capitalize titles. It capitalizes each substring delimited by " ", except for specified strings such as "a" or "the". I haven't ran it yet because it's late, should be fine though. Uses Apache Commons StringUtils.join() at one point. You can substitute it with a simple loop if you wish.
private static String capitalize(String string) {
if (string == null) return null;
String[] wordArray = string.split(" "); // Split string to analyze word by word.
int i = 0;
lowercase:
for (String word : wordArray) {
if (word != wordArray[0]) { // First word always in capital
String [] lowercaseWords = {"a", "an", "as", "and", "although", "at", "because", "but", "by", "for", "in", "nor", "of", "on", "or", "so", "the", "to", "up", "yet"};
for (String word2 : lowercaseWords) {
if (word.equals(word2)) {
wordArray[i] = word;
i++;
continue lowercase;
}
}
}
char[] characterArray = word.toCharArray();
characterArray[0] = Character.toTitleCase(characterArray[0]);
wordArray[i] = new String(characterArray);
i++;
}
return StringUtils.join(wordArray, " "); // Re-join string
}
public static String toTitleCase(String word){
return Character.toUpperCase(word.charAt(0)) + word.substring(1);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
String phrase = "this is to be title cased";
String[] splitPhrase = phrase.split(" ");
String result = "";
for(String word: splitPhrase){
result += toTitleCase(word) + " ";
}
System.out.println(result.trim());
}
1. Java 8 Streams
public static String capitalizeAll(String str) {
if (str == null || str.isEmpty()) {
return str;
}
return Arrays.stream(str.split("\\s+"))
.map(t -> t.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + t.substring(1))
.collect(Collectors.joining(" "));
}
Examples:
System.out.println(capitalizeAll("jon skeet")); // Jon Skeet
System.out.println(capitalizeAll("miles o'Brien")); // Miles O'Brien
System.out.println(capitalizeAll("old mcdonald")); // Old Mcdonald
System.out.println(capitalizeAll(null)); // null
For foo bAR to Foo Bar, replace the map() method with the following:
.map(t -> t.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + t.substring(1).toLowerCase())
2. String.replaceAll() (Java 9+)
ublic static String capitalizeAll(String str) {
if (str == null || str.isEmpty()) {
return str;
}
return Pattern.compile("\\b(.)(.*?)\\b")
.matcher(str)
.replaceAll(match -> match.group(1).toUpperCase() + match.group(2));
}
Examples:
System.out.println(capitalizeAll("12 ways to learn java")); // 12 Ways To Learn Java
System.out.println(capitalizeAll("i am atta")); // I Am Atta
System.out.println(capitalizeAll(null)); // null
3. Apache Commons Text
System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalize("love is everywhere")); // Love Is Everywhere
System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalize("sky, sky, blue sky!")); // Sky, Sky, Blue Sky!
System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalize(null)); // null
For titlecase:
System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalizeFully("fOO bAR")); // Foo Bar
System.out.println(WordUtils.capitalizeFully("sKy is BLUE!")); // Sky Is Blue!
For details, checkout this tutorial.
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Enter the sentence : ");
try
{
String str = br.readLine();
char[] str1 = new char[str.length()];
for(int i=0; i<str.length(); i++)
{
str1[i] = Character.toLowerCase(str.charAt(i));
}
str1[0] = Character.toUpperCase(str1[0]);
for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
{
if(str1[i] == ' ')
{
str1[i+1] = Character.toUpperCase(str1[i+1]);
}
System.out.print(str1[i]);
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
I decided to add one more solution for capitalizing words in a string:
words are defined here as adjacent letter-or-digit characters;
surrogate pairs are provided as well;
the code has been optimized for performance; and
it is still compact.
Function:
public static String capitalize(String string) {
final int sl = string.length();
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(sl);
boolean lod = false;
for(int s = 0; s < sl; s++) {
final int cp = string.codePointAt(s);
sb.appendCodePoint(lod ? Character.toLowerCase(cp) : Character.toUpperCase(cp));
lod = Character.isLetterOrDigit(cp);
if(!Character.isBmpCodePoint(cp)) s++;
}
return sb.toString();
}
Example call:
System.out.println(capitalize("An à la carte StRiNg. Surrogate pairs: 𐐪𐐪."));
Result:
An À La Carte String. Surrogate Pairs: 𐐂𐐪.
Use:
String text = "jon skeet, miles o'brien, old mcdonald";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\b([a-z])([\\w]*)");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
while (matcher.find()) {
matcher.appendReplacement(buffer, matcher.group(1).toUpperCase() + matcher.group(2));
}
String capitalized = matcher.appendTail(buffer).toString();
System.out.println(capitalized);
There are many way to convert the first letter of the first word being capitalized. I have an idea. It's very simple:
public String capitalize(String str){
/* The first thing we do is remove whitespace from string */
String c = str.replaceAll("\\s+", " ");
String s = c.trim();
String l = "";
for(int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++){
if(i == 0){ /* Uppercase the first letter in strings */
l += s.toUpperCase().charAt(i);
i++; /* To i = i + 1 because we don't need to add
value i = 0 into string l */
}
l += s.charAt(i);
if(s.charAt(i) == 32){ /* If we meet whitespace (32 in ASCII Code is whitespace) */
l += s.toUpperCase().charAt(i+1); /* Uppercase the letter after whitespace */
i++; /* Yo i = i + 1 because we don't need to add
value whitespace into string l */
}
}
return l;
}

Here is a simple function
public static String capEachWord(String source){

String[] splitString = source.split(" ");
for(String target : splitString){
result += Character.toUpperCase(target.charAt(0))
+ target.substring(1) + " ";
}
return result.trim();
}
This is just another way of doing it:
private String capitalize(String line)
{
StringTokenizer token =new StringTokenizer(line);
String CapLine="";
while(token.hasMoreTokens())
{
String tok = token.nextToken().toString();
CapLine += Character.toUpperCase(tok.charAt(0))+ tok.substring(1)+" ";
}
return CapLine.substring(0,CapLine.length()-1);
}
Reusable method for intiCap:
public class YarlagaddaSireeshTest{
public static void main(String[] args) {
String FinalStringIs = "";
String testNames = "sireesh yarlagadda test";
String[] name = testNames.split("\\s");
for(String nameIs :name){
FinalStringIs += getIntiCapString(nameIs) + ",";
}
System.out.println("Final Result "+ FinalStringIs);
}
public static String getIntiCapString(String param) {
if(param != null && param.length()>0){
char[] charArray = param.toCharArray();
charArray[0] = Character.toUpperCase(charArray[0]);
return new String(charArray);
}
else {
return "";
}
}
}
Here is my solution.
I ran across this problem tonight and decided to search it. I found an answer by Neelam Singh that was almost there, so I decided to fix the issue (broke on empty strings) and caused a system crash.
The method you are looking for is named capString(String s) below.
It turns "It's only 5am here" into "It's Only 5am Here".
The code is pretty well commented, so enjoy.
package com.lincolnwdaniel.interactivestory.model;
public class StringS {
/**
* #param s is a string of any length, ideally only one word
* #return a capitalized string.
* only the first letter of the string is made to uppercase
*/
public static String capSingleWord(String s) {
if(s.isEmpty() || s.length()<2) {
return Character.toUpperCase(s.charAt(0))+"";
}
else {
return Character.toUpperCase(s.charAt(0)) + s.substring(1);
}
}
/**
*
* #param s is a string of any length
* #return a title cased string.
* All first letter of each word is made to uppercase
*/
public static String capString(String s) {
// Check if the string is empty, if it is, return it immediately
if(s.isEmpty()){
return s;
}
// Split string on space and create array of words
String[] arr = s.split(" ");
// Create a string buffer to hold the new capitalized string
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
// Check if the array is empty (would be caused by the passage of s as an empty string [i.g "" or " "],
// If it is, return the original string immediately
if( arr.length < 1 ){
return s;
}
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
sb.append(Character.toUpperCase(arr[i].charAt(0)))
.append(arr[i].substring(1)).append(" ");
}
return sb.toString().trim();
}
}
Here we go for perfect first char capitalization of word
public static void main(String[] args) {
String input ="my name is ranjan";
String[] inputArr = input.split(" ");
for(String word : inputArr) {
System.out.println(word.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase()+word.substring(1,word.length()));
}
}
}
//Output : My Name Is Ranjan
For those of you using Velocity in your MVC, you can use the capitalizeFirstLetter() method from the StringUtils class.
String s="hi dude i want apple";
s = s.replaceAll("\\s+"," ");
String[] split = s.split(" ");
s="";
for (int i = 0; i < split.length; i++) {
split[i]=Character.toUpperCase(split[i].charAt(0))+split[i].substring(1);
s+=split[i]+" ";
System.out.println(split[i]);
}
System.out.println(s);
package corejava.string.intern;
import java.io.DataInputStream;

In short, when the user selects 1, he or she is supposed to get the first element of the ArrayList(0). When he or she selects 2, they will get the second element in the ArrayList(1). I need to invoke the get method, and use the displayInfo of the Billboard.
Thank you in advance for any and all help.

do something likewise,
case 1:
newBillboard.getMessages().get(0);
...
case 1:
newBillboard.getMessages().get(1);
....
And so on.
your getMessages() method is returning an arraylist so either you should have in an arraylist variable in your main class like this
ArrayList<String> messages = newBillboard.getMessages();
and then call it like this
case 1:
//execute get() and displayInfo() method for default Message 1
//newBillboard = Billboard();
System.out.println (messages.get(0));
//displayInfo();
break;
or you can simply call it like this
newBillboard.getMessages.get(0);//here 0 is for first element
and there is no need to get an object of your class in every case
and what is the need of displayInfo is unclear so if you tell why have you added that i might see to it.
I need to capitalize all user data in Prestashop 1.6 - I've managed to get it done for name, etc. but I don't know where I can do this for the address.
My guess is AddressController's processSubmitAddress() method, but I cannot find where does it take the input, so I can strotupper() that. Thanks for any guidance.
A little late, but here it is. Just change the ucfirst for whatever you need, in this case strotupper(). This is for the customer's address. In same file there should be other files for different customer data. This works also for PS 1.7.2 (tested)

Instead of changing the PrestaShop core. You can also use the override option.
Create the file yourprojectfolder/override/classes/Address.php and insert this code and save the file:
<?php
/**
* Fix for capitalize and submit the first letters of the name and address input fields
*
* 2007-2015 PrestaShop
*
* NOTICE OF LICENSE
*
* #author Peter Visser <info#mark-app.com>
*/
class Address extends AddressCore
{
public function update($null_values = false)
{
// Empty related caches
if (isset(self::$_idCountries[$this->id])) {
unset(self::$_idCountries[$this->id]);
}
if (isset(self::$_idZones[$this->id])) {
unset(self::$_idZones[$this->id]);
}
// Capitalize the first name
$this->firstname = ucfirst($this->firstname);
// Capitalize the first name
$this->lastname = ucfirst($this->lastname);
// Capitalize the address fields
$this->address1 = ucfirst($this->address1);
$this->address2 = ucfirst($this->address2);
if (Validate::isUnsignedId($this->id_customer)) {
Customer::resetAddressCache($this->id_customer, $this->id);
}
return parent::update($null_values);
}
public function add($autodate = true, $null_values = false)
{
if (!parent::add($autodate, $null_values)) {
return false;
}
// Capitalize the first name
$this->firstname = ucfirst($this->firstname);
// Capitalize the first name
$this->lastname = ucfirst($this->lastname);
// Capitalize the address fields
$this->address1 = ucfirst($this->address1);
$this->address2 = ucfirst($this->address2);
if (Validate::isUnsignedId($this->id_customer)) {
Customer::resetAddressCache($this->id_customer, $this->id);
}
return true;
}
}
After that reset your cache for overrides bij deleting yourprojectfolder/cache/class_index.php

Lacking the help, I decided to do a little workaround - I've actually set a trigger on the database, which on insert or update transforms the specified data with SQL's UPPER() function.
