|
|
| Is there a way to capitalize a name when you are extracting it to a field? I am trying to parse a registration email where some users enter their names in all lower case and some enter it in proper case. I'd like to be able to convert everything to proper case so I don't send out autoreplies that begin "Dear jack". |

We are working on adding this feature to the program.
It will be ready in the next 2 weeks.
In addition to allowing you to convert the name to the proper case you will also be able to seperatly extract the first name and the last name. This will certainly help in personalizing your auto response. |

We are still working on that feature. Our original plan was to add the capability to convert an extracted field to proper case. However, we are looking at a broader picture to allow much more string handling functionality on any extracted field.
Because of the expanded requirements, this feature will obviously take a longer time to be ready. |

The feature is now ready. You can capitalize any extracted field.
Basically what we did is allow you to change any extracted field by performing one or more string functions.
For starters you can do any combination of the following
Convert - lower case, upper case, proper case
Remove all spaces from the beginning and ending
Extract a specific word from a phrase
With the update you will be able to change JoHn bROWN to John Brown.
In addition you can also extract the first name and assign it to a field. You can then address the recipient as Dear [[First_Name]] and the email would read Dear John. |
