TextStyleAdd doesn't really change the ascii?

[Whit Porter]

Hope someone can steer me in the right direction. I have a solution where text is cut from a browser page and pasted in to a text field. Sometimes the text is in all caps, and I need to have it in Titlecase.

I can use the TextStyleAdd function to get the text to display in title case in a calc field, but when I export the displayed calc text in to a plain text document - it is still in upper case. So obviously the ascii characters haven't been modified by the calc.

My question is - is there a way to actually modify the ascii so the exported text really IS in title case?

I have a feeling the answer is no. But maybe there are utilities or plug ins that might do the job?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Whit.

Script it and use the Replace Contents step:

Replace Field Contents[theFile::theField,Proper(theFile::theField)]

Or, if you don't want to change the data except for exporting purposes, make a calc field with the same coding as above and export that instead.

HTH,
