How to capitalize a word in a C++ string?
boost, c++, capitalize, stdstring
Solution
If the string is indeed just a single word, `std::string capitalized = boost::locale::to_title (example)` should do it. Otherwise, what you've got is pretty compact.
Edit: just noticed that the `boost::python` namespace has a `str` class with a `capitalize()` method which sounds like it would work for multi word strings (assuming you want what you described and not title case). Using a python string just to gain that functionality is probably a bad idea, however.
Problem
I have a std::string and wish for the first letter to be capitalized and the rest lower case. One way I could do this is: ``` const std::string example("eXamPLe"); std::string capitalized = boost::to_lower_copy(example); capitalized[0] = toupper(capitalized[0]); ``` Which would yield `capitalized` as: "Example" But perhaps there is a more straight forward way to do this?
