Titlecase

[Tony Thompson <To...@stone-ware.com>]

I am attempting to titlecase a match on the word "the" and it doesn't seem
to be working.  Here is my code:

    Perl5Util perl = new Perl5Util();
    System.out.println( perl.substitute("s/the/\\u$&/g", input ) );

It simply replaces any occurrence of "the" with "\u$&".  Can anyone provide
any information?

If you want to do substitutions with interpolations, you should use the
POSIX-style substitutions that ORO supports.

...
if (matcher.contains(text, pattern)) {
      result = matcher.getMatch();
      temp = result.toString();
      question = temp.substring(result.begin(1), result.end(1));
}
...

That will get you the matched string. When you use perenthesis in your
regex, you will have a list of matches for each call. It's all in the doc.
The Perl 5 idioms are inherently not very portable so you shouldn't rely on
them.

I dont believe that is supported.
