Hey, this is my first time I´m asking something because I always found solutions throughout the FME-Community. This time I couldn´t find a post, where somebody had the same problem as I have right now.

 

I have a shapefile including points with names. These names are just written in small caps. For example I have one point named "vierge du ballon" and I want to rename it to "Vierge du Ballon". Is this possible? I have 211 points where I need to change specific parts of the name (see the screenshot below!). I know there is a StringCaseChanger, but this one only changes Fullt Title Case...

 

Just for understanding, there are some more examples (see screen):

1) I have "vierge d'alsace" and want to change it to "Vierge d'Alsace

2) I have "tombe de l'ermite" and want to change it to "Tombe de L'ermite"

 

Would be so great if somebody know how to change it! :)

What are your rules for not changing? Without knowing the rules it is hard to advise, but if for example du, de and d' would always remain lowercase I would use a StringCaseChanger to change to Full Title Case, and then a StringPairReplace to change Du back to du, De back to de etc.
