Camel case function

We've encountered an issue exporting this macro. Please try exporting this page again later.

Often times you may find yourself in need of generating camel case names. For example, if I wanted to programmatically create custom fields using SIL I could add SIL aliases for those custom fields at the same time. You want to avoid using spaces in alias names so a convention like camel case is an excellent habit to adopt.

function camelCase(string name) {
    string [] words = split(name, " ");
    string cc = toLower(words[0]);
    
    for(int x=1; x<size(words); x++) {
        string nextWord;
        for(int l=0; l<length(words[x]); l++) {
            if(l==0) {
                nextWord = toUpper(words[x][l]);
            } else {
                nextWord += words[x][l];
            }
        }
        cc += nextWord;
    }
    return cc;
}

return camelCase("I love using Power Scripts");

//returns iLoveUsingPowerScripts
