Wont a simple LCASE() do and then
function CapFirst(str) {
var newstr = "";
var word = "";
var i = 1;
var strlen = listlen(str," ");
for(i=1;i lte strlen;i=i+1) {
word = ListGetAt(str,i," ");
newstr = newstr & UCase(Left(word,1));
if(len(word) gt 1) newstr = newstr &
Right(word,Len(word)-1);
if(i lt strlen) newstr = newstr & " ";
}
return newstr;
}
That's whats in our function....I think its from CFLIB....

Subject: Re: [ cf-dev ] Regex to capitalise first letter of every word in a
sentence.
Stephen,
I'm not sure it's possible! The only way I could think of doing it, is by
providing 26 regular expressions... ie:
rereplace(rereplace(string, " a", " A", "all"), " b", " B", "all") etc...
I don't think this will be as effective as putting the thing into an array
and then belting it out like this:
<!--- WARNING - UNTESTED CODE --->
<cfset strarray = listtoarray(string, " ")> <cfset newstr = ""> <cfloop
from="1" to="#arraylen(strarray)#" index="i">
<cfset newstr = ucase(left(strarray[i], 1)) & right(strarray[i],
len(strarray[i]) - 1) & " ">
</cfloop>
<cfset newstr = trim(newstr)>
I don't really see any bettter way tbh
