What is the suitable regexp pattern to capitalize the words with dash as below? Find all words with em-dash (e.g. contains a dash in the middle) Replace the captured words with first letter of each part capitalized Example simple-words, some text, to-do → Simple-Words, some text, To-Do Part…

Maybe so, but of zero importance at this stage of the design and analysis game. We’re just at the proof-o’-concept stage based on the narrow scope of the OP. One problem at a time. Incremental and iterative tweaking of the prototype as Mohammad expands further on his needs/requirements. Refine o…

[image] Mohammad: Example simple-words, some text, to-do → Simple-Words, some text, To-Do I’m confused why you would specifically want to exclude capitalizing some text … maybe you’re just trying to draw attention to the hard parts? I wonder whether a workable solution effectively replace…

I don’t understand why the version below doesn’t work. It does the proper thing with the hyphenated words, but strips out sapces. I can fix it with Charlie’s space conversion/restoration process, but I don’t know why that’s necessary. This is the code: <$let in="simple-words, some text, to-d…

It isn’t the regex stripping out spaces. It is the list widget.

Evaluate what is inside the triple curly brackets first. Say {{{ whatever }}} evaluates to A space B space C <$list filter = "A B C"> You see why the spaces go away, right? Say {{{ whatever }}} evaluates to A B C The spaces go away like before, and then the html space codes get re…

Thanks. I got that from your earlier response, and I do understand what you’re doing with the multiple replaces – adding a placeholder for spaces, then replacing that placeholder with &nbps; – but my last two attempts above don’t use the <$list> widget; one uses <$text> and the other uses a <$let> …

The text widget just takes the string coming at it and spits out that string without evaluating it. Curly bracket content gets evaluated, then text widget spits that out as-is. The list widget takes a string and evaluates it. Curly brackets get evaluated, then the list widget evaluates the result…

That’s going to take a while to sink in. Thank you very much for your help.

Your code dynamically constructs a string representing a filter expression. Great. You now need to evaluate it as a filter expression. The first filter evaluation constructs your filter expression, the second evaluates it. Try this: <$let in="simple-words, some text, to-do" pat=(\w)(\w*)(-+)…
