正则表达式可大写第一个字符

Question

For the address field, I need first character of every word to be uppercase. I have been using /\\b./g which has eventually resulted in a problem where first character after special characters such as !@*&;' and so on are also capitalised. ie. King'S Street instead of King's Street .

Is there a way to adjust that expression to exclude that behaviour or is changing the entire expression more optimal?

Answer 1

replace \\b with (^|[ ])

Your regex will be: /(^|[ ])./g

Explanation:

\\b by definition : is used to find a match at the beginning or end of a word.

(^|[ ]) will match with the beginning of the string or any space characters

(^|[ ]). will match every space followed by a character and the first character of the string.

Side note:

Use (^|\\s) to match every blank spaces.

Your regex will be: /(^|\\s)./g

Answer 2

You could use a lookahead:

\b[a-z](?=\w+)
