Hi,

I'm new to Ruby but can't you just use :

"BOCA RATON".capitalize

?


Cheers,


Pete

Nope! (That gives => "Boca raton").

And, even as a Ruby newbie, I determined in seconds.

The real point of my post is to say that, while I'm learning Ruby, I have IRB
open in a konsole right next to kmail--it's very nice to quickly plug a piece
of code in there and do some testing (confirm it works, take bits off the end
to see intermediate results, etc.).
