This example show you how to capitalize a string. We use methods from WordUtils
class provided by the Apache commons-text;
. We can use the WordUtils.capitalize(str)
or WordUtils.capitalizeFully(str)
.
Let’s see an example below:
package org.kodejava.commons.text;
import org.apache.commons.text.WordUtils;
public class WordCapitalize {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Capitalizes all the whitespace separated words in a string,
// only the first letter of each word is capitalized.
String str = WordUtils.capitalize(
"The quick brown fox JUMPS OVER the lazy dog.");
System.out.println("str = " + str);
// Capitalizes all the whitespace separated words in a string
// and the rest string to lowercase.
str = WordUtils.capitalizeFully(
"The quick brown fox JUMPS OVER the lazy dog.");
System.out.println("str = " + str);
}
}
And here are the result of the program:
str = The Quick Brown Fox JUMPS OVER The Lazy Dog.
str = The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog.
