I want to write an action that capitalizes song titles according to these rules:
[http://aitech.ac.jp/~ckelly/midi/help/caps.html](http://aitech.ac.jp/~ckelly/midi/help/caps.html)
It's not very advanced yet... but I had to think of a first potential problem already.
First I use $caps2, then I use simple matches "A"-\>"a", "The"-\>"the" and so on... but when the last word in a string is one of those matched words, how do I make sure it is capitalized at the end of the script again?
For the first letter of the string I can simply use "(^.)"-\>"$upper($1)", but there seems to be no way to match a whole word or is there? Match the string between the last whitespace and end-of-line ($)? But how do I do that?
**EDIT: I've found it: "\b\w\*$"**

I'm just curious: Do you know if such rules exist for the german language too?

Yes, I'm sure but I don't know where to find them on the net. ☹
It's not as easy to implement such rules anyway. For example I can't write a regular expression that is able to distinguish between nouns, verbs, prepositions and so on... 😉
