TC8.01 Multi-Rename Tool: Change First letter uppercase

[Helmut Ripke]

In the Multi-Rename Tool please correct the "Change First letter uppercase" to mean just that: alphabetic letter, excluding numbers, symbols or hyphenation.
example:
input - 01. This Letter is Uppercase
should be converted to - 01. This letter is uppercase
as opposed to the current behavior - 01. this letter is uppercase

Thanks for listening! HR

I never really gave it any second thought. But now that you mention it, a more correct description would be "Change first character uppercase". Because that is how the function behaves.

[Helmut Ripke]

Quite true, but changing anything but letters (alphabetic characters) to uppercase doesn't make a whole lot of sense. That's why I would still like to see my suggestion implemented.

That's only true when those non alphabetic characters are not part of the sentence. For things like "21st century" it does make sense.

Do you know you can work around this?
In case your sentence always starts at position 5 you can use "[N1-4][N5][L][N6-][n]" in the file name mask field.

Or to change first a-z character:

Code: Select all

File name mask: [N]\[U][N]

Search for:   [a-z](.*)\\.*?([a-z]).*|\\.*
Replace with: $2$1

RegEx   checked

^       not checked
1x      not checked
[E]     not checked
Subst   not checked

Thanks, that seems to fit the bill, although not quite as neatly as I had imagined.
On copy-pasting your [N1-4][N5][L][N6-][n] into my Rename mask box, nothing is happening and I don't know where to apply the code snippet either.

I thake that back - I had the "all lowercase" button ticked. It works just as advertised now. Thanks again! HR
