uppercase

I'm very new to Python and am trying to understand how to manipulate strings. What I want to do is change a string by removing the spaces and alternating the case from upper to lower, IE "This is harder than I thought it would be" to "ThIsIsHaRdErThAnItHoUgHtItWoUlDbE" I've cobbled together a code to remove the spaces (heavily borrowed from here): string1 = input("Ask user for something.") nospace = "" for a in string1: if a == " ": pass else: nospace=nospace+a ... but just can't get my head around the caps/lower case part. There are several similar issues on this site and I've tried amending

My program is supposed to take an input in form of a string and split into to strings, one with all the lower case letters, underscores and dots. The other one with all the upper cases, the pipes and the spaces. I am not supposed to use (for function) def split_rec (letters): uppers = "" lowers = "" if letters[0].isupper() or letters[0] == "|" or letters[0].isspace(): uppers += letters[0] + split_rec (letters[1:]) elif letters[0].islower() or letters[0] == "_" or letters[0] == ".": lowers += letters[0] + split_rec (letters[1:]) elif not letters: return lowers, uppers Can you please tell me

Producr codes can contain only uppercase charcters. If lowercase characters are enterd, jqgrid does not convert them to upper case, there is not such option. How to force uppercase conversion of entered characters in jqgrid in inline and form edit modes for text fields ? Update I found code in How can I force input to uppercase in an ASP.NET textbox? last answer . This code changes entered character in uppercase in keypress. Is it reasonable to use this by adding keyprees event handler to jqgrid editing controls? function ToUpper() { // So that things work both on FF and IE var evt = arguments

I have the following code: string firstMicro = "aa \u00b5 bb"; string secondMicro = "aa \u03bc bb"; Assert.IsFalse(firstMicro == secondMicro); string upperFirstMicro = firstMicro.ToUpper(); string upperSecondMicro = secondMicro.ToUpper(); Assert.IsFalse(upperFirstMicro == upperSecondMicro); In my case, the first test passes (obviously, both strings are different), but in second case, the test fails because both texts are identical ($AA M BB). I admit that in one of the cases I should have used CultureInfo - but at least in the first case (the micro sign from ASCII code) should have stayed the

Here is what I want to do but doesn't work: mystring = "hello world" toUpper = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u', 'y'] array = list(mystring) for c in array: if c in toUpper: c = c.upper() print(array) "e" and "o" are not uppercase in my array. You can use the str.translate() method to have Python replace characters by other characters in one step. Use the string.maketrans() function to map lowercase characters to their uppercase targets: try: # Python 2 from string import maketrans except ImportError: # Python 3 made maketrans a static method maketrans = str.maketrans vowels = 'aeiouy' upper_map =

I bought a SQL World City/State database. In the state database it has the state names pushed together. Example: "NorthCarolina", or "SouthCarolina"... IS there a way in SQL to loop and find the uppercase characters and add a space??? this way "NorthCarolina" becomes "North Carolina"??? Create this function if object_id('dbo.SpaceBeforeCaps') is not null drop function dbo.SpaceBeforeCaps GO create function dbo.SpaceBeforeCaps(@s varchar(100)) returns varchar(100) as begin declare @return varchar(100); set @return = left(@s,1); declare @i int; set @i = 2; while @i <= len(@s) begin if ASCII

I have an editable WPF ComboBox with TextSearchEnabled. I need to force the user's text input to uppercase when they type to filter the ComboBox. I was thinking of modifying the textbox that is part of the control (named 'PART_EditableTextBox') to set CharacterCasing="Upper" , however I can't quite figure out how to do this. Do I need to use a trigger, or modify the template in some way? This works and seems like a reasonable solution: protected void winSurveyScreen_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { (comboBox.Template.FindName("PART_EditableTextBox", cbObservation) as TextBox)
