Question

I have a freemarker variable, ${string} which can be of any length. How would I capitalize just the last 2 characters?
Thanks

You can use the upper_case builtin and sequence slicing on strings and write a FTL function like

<#function foo text>
  <#local len = text?length />
  <#if (len>2)>
    <#return text[0..len-3] + text[len-2..]?upper_case> 
  <#else>
    <#return text?upper_case>
  </#if>
</#function>

Then the FTL expression

${foo("foobar")}

produces the string foobAR.
