ucfirst: Uppercase the first letter in each word

In jmw86069/jamba: Jam Base Methods

Uppercase the first letter in each word

Description

Uppercase the first letter in each word

Usage

ucfirst(x, lowercaseAll = FALSE, firstWordOnly = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	character vector.
lowercaseAll	logical indicating whether to force all letters to lowercase before applying uppercase to the first letter.
firstWordOnly	logical indicating whether to apply the uppercase only to the first word in each string. Note that it still applies the logic to every entry in the input vector x.
...	additional arguments are ignored.

Details

This function is a simple mimic of the Perl function ucfirst which converts the first letter in each word to uppercase. When lowercaseAll=TRUE it also forces all other letters to lowercase, otherwise mixedCase words will retain capital letters in the middle of words.
