Trying to capitalize each letter at begin of the word. I know that there is strings.Title
, but that is too imprecise for my needs.
I am not sure why this does not work:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"regexp"
"strings"
)
func main() {
re := regexp.MustCompile(`\b([a-z])`)
fmt.Println(re.ReplaceAllString("my test string", strings.ToUpper("$1")))
}
You should use ReplaceAllStringFunc
, example:
re.ReplaceAllStringFunc("my test string", func(s string) string {
return strings.ToUpper(s)})
See working demo.
Your code doesn't work because:
re.ReplaceAllString("my test string", strings.ToUpper("$1"))
is the same as:
re.ReplaceAllString("my test string", "$1")
since the upper case of $1
is still $1
.
