Hi, I receive strings like:

content-language
accept-resource-priority

and I want to "capitalize" them in this way:

Content-Language
Accept-Resource-Priority

But String#capitalize method just capitalized first letter:

Content-language
Accept-resource-priority


Is there any "fast" method for what I want?
Yes, I could implement it extending String class or my own class < String, =
but=20
performance is very important and I'd prefer using a method written in C=20
(as "String#capitalized"). Does is exist?


Thanks a lot.

Is this too slow?

str =3D "accept-resource-priority"
p str.split(/-/).map {|x| x.capitalize}.join("-")

Hummm:

Benchmark.realtime { "accept".capitalize }
=3D> 2.21729278564453e-05

Benchmark.realtime { "accept".split('-').map {|w|=20
w.capitalize}.join('-') }
=3D> 3.69548797607422e-05

Thanks, but it seems slower than using "split"/"join":

Benchmark.realtime { "accept-asdasd-qweqwe".split('-').map {|w|=20
w.capitalize}.join('-') }
=3D> 3.09944152832031e-05

Benchmark.realtime { "accept-asdasd-qweqwe".gsub!(/((^|-).)/) {=20
$1.upcase } }
=3D> 3.60012054443359e-05

Good response

ok, I'll keep this as an alternative

Thanks a lot.
