Run Example


public string function capitalizeLast( required string text ) {
	return left( arguments.TEXT, len( arguments.TEXT ) - 1 ) & uCase( right( arguments.TEXT, 1 ) );
}

Using right() to test values

if( listFindNoCase( "super,great,coder,rulez", right( rc.ANSWER, 5 ) ) ) {
	writeOutput( "You are an awesome developer!" );
}

Using right() as a member function

In this example we'll use right() as a member function inside a function to help us to capitalize the last letter in a string.

Run Example


public string function capitalizeLast( required string text ) {
	return arguments.TEXT.left( arguments.TEXT.len() - 1 ) & arguments.TEXT.right( 1 ).ucase();
}
