Groovy GDK equivalent of Apache Commons StringUtils.capitalize(str) or Perl's ucfirst(str)
- by knorv
Yes/no-question: Is there a Groovy GDK function to capitalize the first character of a string?
I'm looking for a Groovy equivalent of Perl's ucfirst(..) or Apache Commons StringUtils.capitalize(str) (the latter capitalizes the first letter of all words in the input string).
I'm currently coding this by hand using ..
str = str[0].toUpperCase() + str[1 .. str.size() - 1]
.. which works, but I assume there is a more Groovy way to do it. I'd imagine ucfirst(..) being a more common operation than say center(..) which is a standard method in the Groovy GDK (see http://groovy.codehaus.org/groovy-jdk/java/lang/String.html).
