Ruby capitalize every word first letter

Question

I need to make the first character of every word uppercase, and make the rest lowercase...

manufacturer.MFA_BRAND.first.upcase

is only sett

Answer 1

I used this for a similar problem:

'catherine mc-nulty joséphina'.capitalize.gsub(/(\s+\w)/) { |stuff| stuff.upcase }

This handles the following weird cases I saw trying the previous answers:

• non-word characters like -
• accented characters common in names like é
• capital characters in the middle of the string
