Hi,
I tried to find letter after period and capitalize it using StringReplacer but it did not work. Is it possible to accomplish such a thing with the StringReplacer? For example: Condition: good. ensure continuous maintenance. The result should be like this: Condition: good. Ensure continuous maintenance.
Text to Replace: (^:a]|\. ]a-z])
Replacement txt: .\U$1 also \U\1 won’t work.
Thanks
Leida
Hi Leida, I haven't got the /U$1 approach to work either. I used a StringSearcher to get the first letter after a period in an attribute (with RegEx: (?<=\. )[a-z]), and a StringConcatenator switched to Advanced mode with the following Expression:
@ReplaceRegularExpression(@Value(test),(?<=\. )[a-z],@UpperCase(@Value(_first_match)))
Notice the same RegEx in the String Expression.
Hope this helps!

Great
It appears \1 cannot be modified.
| Original Text | Condition: good. ensure continuous maintenance. |
| Text To Replace | (^[a]|\. [a-z]) |
| Replacement Text | xx@UpperCase(\1xx) |
| Results | Condition: goodxx. eXXnsure continuous maintenance. |
Nice find
Although using multiple transformers isn't that bad, this seems like it could be a nice addition to the string functions FME already has!
