Re: Capitalize property value

[Alain ROY]

Thanks for the link. 
There's an example to capitalize all words with more than 2 characters.
Search string is : "\\w{2,}"
Replace string is : "\\L\\u$&"

I tried :

      <property name="src" value="a foo and a BAR" />
      <property name="s1" value="\\w{2,}" />
      <property name="s2" value="\\L\\u$&amp;" />

      <propertyregex property="dst"
                     input="${src}"
                     regexp="${s1}"
                     replace="${s2}"
                     global="true"
      />
      <echo message="${src}  -->  ${dst}" />

1) With : 
      <property name="s1" value="\\w{2,}" />
      <property name="s2" value="\\L\\u$&amp;" />
   I get :
      a foo and a BAR  -->  ${dst}

2) With : 
      <property name="s1" value="\w{2,}" />
      <property name="s2" value="\\L\\u$&amp;" />
   I get :
       a Lu$& Lu$& a Lu$&

3) I tried with : 
      <property name="s2" value="\L\u$&amp;" />
      or
      <property name="s2" value="\\\L\\\u$&amp;" />
      or
      <property name="s2" value="\\\\L\\\\u$&amp;" />

   Nothing works.

Any idea ?
