You can use Log10 to determine the correct break. Something like this could work: double number = 4316000; int mag = (int)(Math.Floor(Math.Log10(number))/3); // Truncates to 6, divides to 2 double divisor = Math.Pow(10, mag*3); double shortNumber = number / divisor; string suffix; switch(mag) { case 0: suffix = string.Empty; break; case 1: suffix = “k”; … Read more
As discussed in the comments of @miguel’s answer, you can use TextInfo.ToTitleCase which has been available since .NET 1.1. Here is some code corresponding to your example: string lipsum1 = “Lorem lipsum et”; // Creates a TextInfo based on the “en-US” culture. TextInfo textInfo = new CultureInfo(“en-US”,false).TextInfo; // Changes a string to titlecase. Console.WriteLine(“\”{0}\” to … Read more
Twitter dates in specific are interesting because they are relative only for the first day. After 24 hours they just show the month and day.

This will capitalize all word’s first letters, and letters immediately after an apostrophe. It will make all other letters lowercase. It should work for you: str_replace(‘\’ ‘, ‘\”, ucwords(str_replace(‘\”, ‘\’ ‘, strtolower($last_name))));
This works with your testcases: static String splitCamelCase(String s) { return s.replaceAll( String.format(“%s|%s|%s”, “(?<=[A-Z])(?=[A-Z][a-z])”, “(?<=[^A-Z])(?=[A-Z])”, “(?<=[A-Za-z])(?=[^A-Za-z])” ), ” ” ); } Here’s a test harness: String[] tests = { “lowercase”, // [lowercase] “Class”, // [Class] “MyClass”, // [My Class] “HTML”, // [HTML] “PDFLoader”, // [PDF Loader] “AString”, // [A String] “SimpleXMLParser”, // [Simple XML Parser] … Read more
