Normal topicRegex uppercase text replacement

I'm trying and failing to make the first character in the comment field uppercase.

I am able to get the character using a simple regex but I can't get Yate to make the replacement uppercase.

I expected to use \U before the variable replacement but this just adds the U character.

Any ideas, or other ways to do this?

\U is not an ICU sequence and as such is not supported by Apple's regex implementation.

Replace the highlighted line (13) with:

Substring [0, 1] of Comments -> Variable 0
Case Capitalize in Variable 0
Remove "1" character at index "0" from the beginning then insert "\v0" at index "0" from the beginning in field Comments

There is however still an issue. The test on line 15 does not account for multiple files with different Comments fields. (Yate's parallel operations)

You could change lines 15-18 with the following:

Test if the Comments field ends with "." (Set test state and Variable 1)
if Variable 1 is false
Append "." to the Comments field
endif

or you could simply replace 15-18 with:

Find first match for regular expression "\.*$" in field Comments, replace with "." to field Comments.

That is great, thank you.

Noted. This is not the first time I have forgotten about this.

Thanks. I've updated this to include a "Test if all loaded files are in the same folder" rule and changed it to use substring and insert. It's working exactly as I wanted now.

Great. This'll work as long as the comments are the same for every file in the folder. That may be the case for files in the same folder. 🙂

Yeah, that's generally what I do. The comment field is usually the same and it's how I intend to use this.
