How can I replace the capitalized first character of multiple words into lowercase characters?
I have this: Jim Reeves - Am I That Easy To Forget. and I want to change that into this: Jim Reeves - Am I that easy to forget. |

The following solution assumes that all your filenames are in the form: <name><hyphen+space><text> - ie I'm using "- " as a separator. Use two Replace methods (or two lines in a List replace method). Select "Use regular expressions" in each case. 1) Set first character of text to upper case and all following characters to lower case... Replace: ((.*)(- .))?(.) With: \2\U3\L4 2) Replace "i" as single word with upper case... Replace: (\si(\s|$)) With: \U1 A great resource for getting to grips with advanced Regular Expressions is www.regular-expressions.info |

In a single line... Replace: (^.*?- \K(.))?((<i>)|(.)) With:: \U2\U4\L5 Occurrence: All Use regular expressions Replace < & > with square brackets in this regex. In this forum "i" in square brackets: () is an instruction to display the following text in italics so it cannot be displayed! |
