How does one convert an uppercase string to proper sentence-case? Example string:
"OPERATOR FAIL TO PROPERLY REMOVE SOLID WASTE"
Using titlecase(str) gives me:
"Operator Fail to Properly Remove Solid Waste"
What I need is:
"Operator fail to properly remove solid waste"
Is there an easy way to do this?
Let's use an even more appropriate function for this: string.capitalize
>>> s="OPERATOR FAIL TO PROPERLY REMOVE SOLID WASTE" >>> s.capitalize() 'Operator fail to properly remove solid waste'
This will work for any sentence, or any paragraph. Note that the sentence must end with a . or it won't be treated as a new sentence. (Stealing .capitalize() which is the better method, hats off to brianpck for that)
a = 'hello. i am a sentence.' a = '. '.join(i.capitalize() for i in a.split('. '))
