Regex might work. Except not CF regex, but if you can use the Java one
you might be able to replace:
/([^[:alpha:]])([[:alpha:]])([[:alpha:]]+)/i
with
\1\u\2\L\3\E

Which I think would do what you want, but I'm not certain (and haven't
tested it at all)

Hi Guys

I have a country reference table where all of the country names are
held in upper case.

I want to be able to output in lower case but keep the caps where
appropriate (e.g. UNITED KINGDOM to United Kingdom).

However I think that this going to be close to impossible as there are
values such as:

VIRGIN ISLANDS (BRITISH)
VIRGIN ISLANDS (U.S.)
WALLIS AND FUTANA

So using a function to capitalise the first letter of each word won't
really work.

How have people approached this situation and has anybody found any
good solution?

Also, is there a UDF around for capitalising the first letter of each word?

Thanks in advance
