Question

I’m using this code to create SEF url strings:

Replace space with dash and make all letters lower case using javascript

I was wondering if there was a way of reversing this using jQuery? Example:

this-is-a-test

into

This Is A Test

Answer 1

split the string on hyphens, capitalize first letter, lowercase the rest…then join them back up on a blank space:

var string = 'this-is-a-test';
var words = string.split('-');
var list = [];

for ( var i=0, l=words.length; i<l; i++ ) {
  var word = words[i];
  list.push(word.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + word.substr(1, word.length).toLowerCase());
}

console.log(list.join(" "));
