string-capitalize string &key (start 0) (end nil) Function
Returns a copy of string; for every word in the copy, the initial character,
if case-modifiable, is uppercased. All other case-modifiable characters in
the word are lowercased.
For the purposes of string-capitalize, a word is defined as a consecutive
subsequence of alphanumeric characters or digits, delimited at each end either
by a non-alphanumeric character, or by an end of string.
The ke~ords let you select portions of the string argument for uppercasing.
These keyword arguments must be non-negative integer indices into
the string array. The result is always the same length as string, however.
:start Specifies the position within string from which to begin uppercasing
(counting from 0). Default is 0, the first character in the string.
:start must be ~ :end.
:end Specifies the position within string of the first character beyond the
end of the uppercasing operation. Default is nil, that is, the operation
continues to the end of the string.
The destructive version of string-capitalize is the function
nstring-capitalize.
Examples:
(string-capitalize "lexington") => "Lexington"
(string-capitalize 'symbol) => "Symbol"
(string-capitalize "one two three" :start 5) => "one tWo Three"
(string-capitalize "a MIxeD-Up sTrinG" :start 2) => "a Mixed-Up String"
(string-capitalize "a MIxeD-Up sTrinG" :start 2 :end 19) => "a Mixed-Up sTrinG"
(string-capitalize "tom&jerry arenJt in room 15d")
=> "Tom&Jerry ArenJT In Room 15d"
