Case: change only first letter, leave rest unchanged

Postby vitamindimio » Sun Jul 24, 2022 4:40 pm

(submitted this but not sure it posted, trying again...)

How can I use BRU to change a folder named "jumpUpFolder" to "JumpUpFolder"? I.e., I want to change the case of only the first letter, but leave the remaining letters unchanged even if they are capitalized.

Thanks

With a checkmark inside of "v2", the RegEx(1) can use a "Match" and "Replace" like...
(.*)
\u\1

The (.*) matches all characters in the filename, and then \u just says "uppercase the next-character only".

(

My first thought was that it should do just that.
But, it seems that in fact the "correct" action is to do just what it does.

That said, I would think many would find an option to do what you say, to be beneficial.
