Hi again! Today, I’m going to give you a JAVA function that uppercases first letters of each word, sentence or line. This function is also very similar with the function which was given at this article: Making uppercase the first letters of words, sentences and lines in ASP. To understand the algorithm, take a look that.
I will name my function UppercaseTheFirstLetter() again. I like that.

if(option==0){splitby=" ";}
else if(option==1){splitby="\\.";} //to define the dot string we used 2 backslashes.
else if(option==2){splitby="\n";} //to define new line string we used \n
string=string.trim ();
parts = string.split(splitby);
for(i=0;i<parts .length;i++){
parts[i]=parts[i].trim();
if(parts[i].length()>0){
uppercased=parts[i].substring(0,1).toUpperCase()+parts[i].substring(1,parts[i].length());
if(i>0){
output+=splitby.replace("\\", "")+uppercased;
//if splitby criteria is a dot we need to clear the backslash \.
}else{
output=uppercased;
}
}
}
return output;

One of the most disturbing problems of webmasters is users which have no idea about typing a sentence. It’s should be so difficult for website owner’s to see, some silly sentences typed incorrectly on their well-designed and good-looking websites. As we all know each word of titles, names and surnames or the first letter of a sentence ALWAYS start with an uppercase letter. Unfortunately there is no such rule in caveman literature. They write the first letters of sentences or their first letter of their names small. However, you don’t need to get angry anymore. There is a little solution for these cavemen. We are going to write a function that will change first letters of each word in a sentence or the first letter of a sentence. It means, we will set the cavemen’s sentences in a correct sentence format. Also, we can convert the first letter of lines to uppercase. This can be useful when you write a poem, lyric or something like that. Let’s begin.
Firstly, there is our UppercaseTheFirstLetter() function then we will clarify it with examples.
