TextMate Snippet: How to uppercase the first letter in a regexp

Question

How can I make the first letter upper case in the following:

${1:${TM_FILENAME/[\.php]+$//}}

Basically if the filename is "welcome.php", I'd like it to write out "Welcome". This at the moment writes "welcome" (lower case w).

Answer 1

Try the following snippet. Works for me.

${TM_FILENAME/(.*?)(\..+)/\u$1/}

Answer 2

TM_FILENAME not works for windows?

Answer 3

For some reason the above example gives you weird charectors when using it ... it took me a while but the solution below works if you are still looking. It has two solutions here for you the first one is for actual textmate on mac:

${TM_FILENAME/(^.)(.*?)(\.php)/(?1:\U$1)(?2:)(?3:)/}

The next is if you are using e Texteditor on PC:

${TM_FILENAME/(^.)(.*?)(\.php)/(?1:)(?2:$2)(?3:)/}

I hope this helps you if you haven't already.
