Hi All -
I'm just getting started with D, and I'm liking it so far, thanks to
everyone for all the hard work.
I was doing some string work and found that toupper() is failing on my char[]
array, although tolower() does work. E.g. these two examples:
char[] s;
s ~= Hello;
auto s_low = s.tolower();
auto s_up = s.toupper();
The tolower works but the toupper fails (error at the bottom of this message).
For reference I'm using 2.048.
I noticed that tolower() and toupper() have different implementations, although
there was a section commented out in tolower() that looks just like the toupper
implementation.
I converted toupper() to use essentially the same code as tolower() and all
seems to work well. e.g.
S toupper(S)(S s) if (isSomeString!S)
{
foreach (i, dchar c; s)
{
if (!std.uni.isUniLower(c)) continue;
auto result = s[0.. i].dup;
foreach (dchar c; s[i .. $])
{
if (std.uni.isUniLower(c))
{
c = std.uni.toUniUpper(c);
}
result ~= c;
}
return cast(S) result;
}
return s;
}
Perhaps toupper() was in the midst of being changed when this snapshot of the
code was made? Anyway, I thought I would bring it to your attention.
Thanks again,
Erin Scott Sheldon
