Geoff and all.
I tried as suggested and it did not work. Let me explain what I am trying to
achieve and paste the code thus far.
I am capturing names from a screen which need to be formatted in the correct
way. This particular function has to check for names beginning with Mc and
format it in such a way that the name appears like McTavish. My script works
where the string has a blank space between each forename or surname but in
some cases the name may be hyphenated. I need the string segment count to
look for a blank space and a hyphen. Here is my working code so far, maybe
someone can critique what I have done and suggest a way forward.
As always..thanks in advance for the help.
Var
String sData,
String sData2,
String sData3,
String sData4,
String sData5,
String sText,
Int iStart,
Int iFinish,
Int iLength
Let sData = "MCDAVE1 MCDAVE2-MCDAVE3 MCDAVE4 MCDAVE5 MCDAVE6"
Let iStart = 1 Let iFinish = StringSegmentCount (sData, " -") + 1
While iStart < iFinish
Let sText = StringSegment (sData, " ", iStart)
Let iLength = StringLength (sText)
Let sData2 = SubString (sText, 1, 2)
If sData2 == "MC" Then
Let sData2 = StringUpper (StringLeft (sData2, 1)) + StringLower
(Substring
(sData2, 2, StringLength (sData2)))
Let sData3 = StringChopLeft (StringLeft (sText, iLength), 2)
Let sData3 = StringUpper (StringLeft (sData3, 1)) + StringLower
(Substring
(sData3, 2, StringLength (sData3)))
Let sData4 = (sData2 + sData3)
If iStart == iFinish Then
Let sData5 = sData5 + sData4 Else
Let sData5 = sData5 + sData4 +" "
EndIf
EndIf
Let iStart = iStart + 1
EndWhile
Copytoclipboard (sData5)
