Convert to uppercase

[SlowMove]

Does anyone know how to do a substitution where every letter that follows "$" is capitalized, and then the "$" is removed from the string? So, "$theString" would be converted to "TheString"

$text =~ s///g;

The code above would probably work if I understood regular expressions ¦:@(

$text =~ s/\$(.)/uc($1)/eg;

Which swaps $ and the next character (the dot), putting the next char into $1 in the replacement. Then use a function (uc) with $1 (the character) as the parameter. Use e as well as g as the final operator (which means expression - the replacement will be a calculation and not a normal straight swap).

Thank you very much.

A dot can match not only letters. This one is better:

$text =~ s/\$([a-z])/\u$1/ig;

Don't forget accented and foriegn but valid characters...

I'd suggest a \w for any word character.

$text =~ s/\$(\w)/\u$1/ig;

\w will also match digits and underscores
