I want to convert a string with all uppercase letters to title case (all words first letter uppercase ) how could I do that?
so:
TEMPLATE HOME PORTFOLIO
to:
Template Home Portfolio
What would be the best way to simply take a string like
var myString:String = "Thi$ i$ a T#%%Ible Exam73@";
and make myString = "thiiatibleeam";
or another example
var myString:String = "Totally Awesome String";
and make myString = "totallyawesomestring";
I know how to catch usual lowercase letters. I'm using KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN and compare the code to the ASCII table to find out which key was pressed. Now, I also want to be able to find out if there is, for example SHIFT+A pressed, and I have no idea how to implement this. I mean, in my program SHIFT and A are absolutely different keys which have nothing to do with each other, and they both will call KeyboardEvents when pressed. In Georgian alphabet some letters are typed by combination of SHIFT and English letters, for example W on Georgian keyboard means წ, when SIFT+W means áƒ. Absolutely different letters, as you can see. And I want to be able to catch both, coz I'm currently developing Georgian-language game.
View 2 RepliesI got this text that I want to convert to uppercase...
the problem is that my server is linux, and files are case sensitive.. So I need to convert the text to UpperCase, except what's inside the html tags.
This prototype removes the HTML tags... instead removing the HTML, ingore the text to become upperCase?
Code:
String.prototype.removeHTML = function(){
var temp, i;
var xStr = this;

Good technigue for finding out if a string has any letters?I'm not looking for a specific letter, I just want to search a string and find out if it has any letters.
View 2 RepliesFor a rather complex search function I need to get the first letter of each word entered into an input field. At first glance this may not seem like a big problem if every word is neatly seperated by a space.
Although people can enter whatever they want into the field I only want to work with the words that start with a-z or A-Z.
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how I can determine if a character in the string falls into this selection. One of the possibilities is to use charCodeAt(), but that's rather rough. I can walk through the string using indexOf() but I may have trouble finding the next word if characters other than a space come into play.

Is there a way to take all the letters out of a string and then use it as a integer?If that is not possible, is there a way to take the first three letters off a string variable? i.e. make myVariable='pic1' into myVariable = '1' Yes? no?

View 4 RepliesI've made some code that loads a line from a text file as a string and puts it into a dynamic field. What I want to do is randomize the letters of the string, but I can't seem to find any functions that do so. Anyone have an idea as to how you do this?

var url:String = "test.txt";

View 3 RepliesI've searched high and low for a simple function that gives me all the possible combination of a set of characters with no avail. Anyone here got enough of a maths brain for this one? I want a function around the likes of this: possibleCombinations("abc"); which returns an array: "abc", "ab", "a", "cba", "cb", "c", "..." ETC You'd be doing me a hug favor as a deadline depends in the delivery of this code.
View 1 RepliesI've been creating an application using the Adobe AIR Packager for iPhone (command line style).The app consists of a lot of screens that provide various information, and the navigation is handled all in the document class via an event-triggered function that uses a large switch-case statement to determine what screen to go to.
When we compiled it through the iPhone Packager and tried to test it on one of our phones, it would load up to a blank screen.
After some error testing it was revealed that the switch-case itself is causing a problem (changing it to an if-else that had the same functionality worked just fine). Does anyone know whether this is a known issue, or if something can be done to fix that other than converting it to an if-else.
I see Switch statement in:
switch() {
case 'string': ...;
}
but would hope if I could do this?
I want to change a string, so that it's first character changes into lower case, like this:

Algorithm to generate all possible letter combinations of given string down to 2 letters
Trying to create an Anagram solver in AS3, such as this one found here:
[URL]
I'm having a problem wrapping my brain around generating all possible letter combinations for the various lengths of strings. If I was only generating permutations for a fixed length, it wouldn't be such a problem for me... but I'm looking to reduce the length of the string and obtain all the possible permutations from the original set of letters for a string with a max length smaller than the original string. For example, say I want a string length of 2, yet I have a 3 letter string of "abc", the output would be: ab ac ba bc ca cb.
Ideally the algorithm would produce a complete list of possible combinations starting with the original string length, down to the smallest string length of 2. I have a feeling there is probably a small recursive algorithm to do this, but can't wrap my brain around it. I'm working in AS3.
I am trying to implement simple chat application using flex. In it all my chat messages are stored as array collection items, where each item is a string (correspondent to one chat message).

I'm trying to convert an variable that contains XML data to a String. Anyone have a clue on how to achieve this?
My main problem is that the XML data is formatted nicely, but I need to store it in the database without the linebreaks and tab stops and whitespaces.
I think converting it into string would work with .toString();, but that doesn't get rid of the XML formatting...

I simply need to convert a sting to an int. The string will be a number, that is a given.
So I am trying to take an XML document, load it in, then organize the elements into an array of Objects with the elements nodes as the properties of each object.All of that I am able to do so far.What is the real problem here for me is when I try to take one of the properties and try to assign it to a dynamic Textbox's .text property.I can trace the object property, but it will not go into a textbox.[code]Also, I noticed that when the code hits the first output error, it never executes the rest of the code in the changeQuestion function; or else I would have gotten more than one output error.
