Hi All, I recently had to upcase the first char and gave #capitalize a try but I discovered that it downcase everything else. This is not necessary good when dealing with strings containing names or acronyms E.g. if I've a string like this "my name is Aldo and I like BBQ" and I use #capitalize it will downcase "I", "Aldo" and "BBQ" which could not be what I want.
What about a method which upcase the first characher leaving the rest untouched? We have #titleize and #capitalize and I think we should also have a method to upcase just the first letter. I know I could just manually add something in my app (and I did) but I think a method like this would be very useful (see http://stackoverflow.com/q/2646709 for example). I added a method called #upcase_first_char and made a pull request: https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/15319 Apologies if I did this before asking in the ML, first non-doc pull request here :) Aldo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
